Blue grape hyacinth bulbs: the start of spring

The flowers emerging from grape hyacinth bulbs herald a period of new blooms and growth in your garden. As soon as spring arrives, this hardy little plant is one of the first spring bloomers to announce its arrival. The first shoots of grape hyacinth bulbs—also known as grape hyacinths—can appear as early as February, as they can withstand lower temperatures. However, the ideal temperature is 12 to 18 degrees Celsius. It's best to plant grape hyacinth bulbs together, as they are at their most beautiful in large clusters. Then, in spring, they temporarily transform gardens into a sea of blue—wonderful!
