Valerie Finnis Grape Hyacinth

This pale blue charmer is particularly lovely amid other pastel spring hues, providing a dense carpet around pink tulips or a nice front row ahead of yellow daffodils. It's fragrant too, which is an excellent way to greet springtime. In a decorative pot on a patio table you'll be able to enjoy this perfume while you relax. Or you could put it in mixed container plantings on your steps and make every step up to your home a treat. It's so precious and useful, it shouldn't come as a surprise that Valerie Finnis is an award winner—it claimed Flower Bulb of the Year in 2012.
