Grape Hyacinth is a Bulb, which is a kind of flower that contains
everything it needs in it to grow except water! This bulb is good
to use for the Spring. You can plant the bulbs 1 inch apart,
then watch as the many leaves come up straight and curve over.
They usually start coming up in late January or early February.
You'll see a stem with a blue flower that looks alot like
grapes, only upside down! The bulbs look good in flowerpots,
flower beds and below other plants that are taller. They grow
about 6-12 inches tall and like to be planted where they get
lots of sun, or a little shade. They are usually blue and there
are some that are white. They multiply every year, and look really
good with daffodils. Just make sure you water every week if it
stops raining during the fall and winter months.
