<p><em>Muscari armeniacum</em> ‘Superstar’ stands 9 inches tall and blooms in March – April with fragrant periwinkle blue flowers. The flowers are urn shaped with a thin white line around the rim and are densely packed in a conical raceme that resembles an upside down bunch of grapes. The flowers at the top are sterile. A single scape will have 20 – 40 flowers and a single bulb may produce up to 3 scapes. Plant it in full sun to part shade. It is resistant to deer and is hardy in zones 4 – 8.
