Why We Love It

‘Blue Spike’ is a standout muscari variety, admired for its unusual double blooms and soft pastel tones. The clustered flower spikes create a frothy, textural effect that pairs beautifully with tulips, narcissus, and anemones for layered spring displays.

Hardy and easy to grow, it naturalises readily, forming larger groups each year. Plant in generous drifts for maximum impact, tuck into pots for a delicate seasonal accent, or combine with other early bulbs for a long-lasting display.
