Muscari Pink Sunrise

A delightful breakthrough in grape hyacinths, Muscari 'Pink Sunrise' is one of the very first true pink Muscari, producing elegant spikes of soft blush-pink flowers that bring an entirely new colour palette to the spring garden. Rare, charming and wonderfully easy to grow, it offers a refreshing alternative to the traditional blues.

The densely packed flower spikes open in delicate shell-pink with subtle peach and rosy undertones, gradually softening to a pale pastel pink as the flowers mature. Held above neat clumps of slender green foliage, the blooms create a gentle, romantic effect and are lightly fragrant, attracting bees and other early pollinating insects.

Flowering in early to mid-spring, 'Pink Sunrise' is perfect for adding softness to borders, containers, rockeries and woodland edges. It naturalises steadily in well-drained soil, forming attractive clumps that return reliably each year. Its unusual colouring makes it especially effective planted alongside white Muscari, blue grape hyacinths, pastel tulips and miniature narcissus.

Compact, hardy and remarkably low maintenance, Muscari 'Pink Sunrise' is an exceptional choice for gardeners looking to introduce something a little different into their spring displays.

A beautiful modern grape hyacinth whose delicate pink flowers bring warmth, elegance and novelty to the early spring garden.

Planting Instructions

When to Plant:

Plant Muscari bulbs in autumn, ideally between September and November, while the soil is still warm enough for roots to establish before winter.

Where to Plant:
Choose a position in full sun or partial shade with fertile, well-drained soil. Muscari are ideal for borders, rockeries, containers, woodland edges and beneath deciduous trees.

How to Plant:

• Depth: Plant bulbs approximately 8–10 cm (3–4 inches) deep.
• Spacing: Space bulbs about 5–8 cm (2–3 inches) apart.
• Soil Prep: Improve heavy soils with grit or organic matter to ensure good drainage before planting.

Watering:
Water thoroughly after planting to settle the soil. Once established, Muscari require very little watering except during prolonged dry spells.

Aftercare Tips:

• Allow the foliage to die back naturally after flowering to replenish the bulbs.
• Leave bulbs undisturbed to naturalise and multiply into attractive clumps.
• Divide congested clumps every few years if flowering becomes less prolific.

Top Tip:
Plant 'Pink Sunrise' alongside white Muscari, blue grape hyacinths and soft pastel tulips for an elegant spring display full of gentle colour and contrast.
