These spring blooming plants are recognized by their dense clusters of tiny bell-shaped flowers, which grow at the top of the flower stem, forming a spiked bloom.

Muscari flower buds resemble small clusters of tiny grapes, hence the common name of “grape hyacinths“.

The bulbs are a small size, and notably much smaller than many other commonly fall planted bulbs such as hyacinths and daffodils.
