MOODY BLUES

This heady blend of indigo, purple and blue creates an arresting spring display for the front of a sunny border. WHY IT WORKS The deep, dark hyacinth is a gorgeous backbone to the vivid spikes of the muscari and the viola’s dainty faces.

Plant the muscari in naturalistic groups and it will quickly form a carpet of blue – clumps can be thinned to stop it taking over. AT ITS PEAK March-April
