grape hyacinths

19 years ago

I'm wondering about my grape hyacinths.

Their stems came up in the fall and bolted up high. Now they are flopping all over. Are they OK? Is there some way I could make them look less messy throughout the winter?

Is it OK that they are up out of the ground when it may freeze soon?

Thanks!

That's the way Muscari (grape hyacinths) grow. The only variety that waits until spring to send up foliage that then dies back politely after bloom is the white variety, Muscari botryoides.
