Description
Muscari armeniacum Fantasy Creation is a recent variety, unique with its large swollen spikes of double florets in changing tones, reminiscent of broccoli. Starting in a pretty blue, the florets gradually turn to violet, then green, and finally almost yellow. The nectar-rich inflorescence does not wither and rarely produces seeds, which is an advantage in floral compositions. This strange and seductive flowering emerges from a tuft of grassy foliage in early spring. Muscari is a small bulb that rests in summer, indifferent to heat and drought. Adorable with spring bulbs in yellow, pink or white flowers.
Directly derived from Muscari armeniacum 'Blue Spike', from which it is a seed, 'Fantasy Creation' is even more spectacular than its parent. This selection belongs, like all muscaris, to the asparagus family. Wild Muscari armeniacum is native to the eastern Mediterranean, where it grows in woods and meadows. This small bulbous plant produces a basal rosette of long, very narrow, gutter-shaped, light and vivid green leaves at the end of winter. Each rosette sends out 1 to 3 flowering stems from a mature and well-developed bulb, generally in late March or early April. The flowering stems are 12-15 cm (5-6in) tall and bear a multitude of small double urn-shaped flowers, opening into stars, tightly packed in a compact and branched cluster with a widely pyramidal shape. Each flower changes colour from the bottom to the top of the cluster. The foliage dries up and disappears some time after flowering.
Muscari Fantasy Creation is an unusual, versatile and useful plant in a garden or for houses without gardens. Its high resistance to cold, summer drought, and even shade in hot climates allows it to be used in many situations: in the undergrowth, at the base of trees, as a border to highlight the design of a pathway, in rock gardens or in Japanese-style gardens. It also grows very well in pots, on a window or balcony. It is so accommodating that it forgives if you forget to water it and thrives in neglected or weekend gardens. Its blue to violet flowers are very beautiful next to the yellow trumpets of daffodils, forget-me-nots, the fragrant clusters of early blue hyacinths (Blue Pearl, Delft Blue), or the pink and red cups of triumph tulips.

Planting and care
Plant your Double Beauty muscari as soon as possible in well-drained, well-dug soil, at a depth of 8 cm (3in) (Bulbs should be covered with twice their height of soil) and 8 cm (3in) apart, making sure they do not touch. Choose a sunny location for better flowering. Muscari armeniacum is not demanding on the type of soil and perfectly hardy in all regions, even dry in summer. Divide the bulbs every 4 years at most. If you grow it in pots, you will need to water it regularly and provide fertiliser after flowering to replenish the bulb's reserves.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
