A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Plants and Flowers Forum Mystery Plants? What are these bluebies?

I took these at the park today; I also have some that I put in the rock garden last year.

But I don't know what they're called - I know they're related to that other spring plant - not hyacinthe . . . but a word like that.

gRAPE HYACINTH

Ahhhh! I used to know the name, but just didn't remember it.

This particular plant was left in the lobby for me a couple of years ago - it finally dried up and I just broke it up and put pieces of it in the rock garden - came up before anything else.

Thanks, Dodge.

Those are Muscari's.

OK - two id's here . . .

Grape Hyacinth & Muscari . . . let's google . . .

Oh - it's the same thing.

Thanks for the nudge on that . . . I remember the grape thing when I looked them up a couple years ago - I'll probably forget and ask again next year when it pops up.

iS THIS A WAR?

Yes - same thing - muscari or grape hyacinth. I'm surprised you were able to grow them from pieces - I've only heard and tried growing them from bulbs.

I had no choice but to grow them in pieces - a couple of years ago, somebody left them with my plants in the lobby here. When the plant became scrubby, I took it out to the table and took it out of the pot.

It fell to pieces. I just took the pieces of root and put them in the rock garden.

They looked like little hyacinths . . . and y'know - that reminds me - I didn't see the hyacinths this year. Maybe they're finished.
