Yellow Grape Hyacinth

Muscari macrocarpum 'Golden Fragrance' is from west Turkey and the Aegean Isles. It stands 8 inches high and blooms in May with a fragrant, densely packed conical raceme that resembles an upside down bunch of grapes, hence the common name Grape Hyacinth. The narrow tubular flowers are pink at first but become brownish or yellow. The flowers of Muscari macrocarpum are thinner and more tubular than the flowers of most other species of Muscari. Plant it in full sun to part shade. It is hardy in zones 5 - 8 and is resistant to deer.
