Muscari (grape hyacinths)

Yes, muscari. Some are an insipid pale blue, but that is lovely.

I had neighbours asking me what mine were when they came up this year. They are lovely.

They spread profusely, and when the leaves have all died off, if you lift them you should have dozens of little bulbs that you can replant. Poke a stick or pencil in the soil and drop a little bulb in each hole (assuming you do want a big patch of them, that is.)

Thank you I will do that :)

Yes, as Ferguson says, that isn't a plant you have there, its many plants. There will be quite a few bulbs in that pot, and they develop new ones over time so you get a larger clump. They are really pretty planted up with narcissii.

We had some out the front which have spread and some come up in the back garden a few years ago int he grass...so I moved them to a border
