Grape hyacinths are a group of plants in the genus (Muscari) of plants native to Eurasia that produce spikes of blue flowers resembling bunches of grapes. There are about forty species.
Some species are among the earliest to bloom in the spring, and are planted both in flower beds as well as in lawns. They tend to multiply quickly when planted in good soils.
