See text Muscari is a genus of perennial bulbous plants native to Eurasia that produce spikes of dense, most commonly blue, urn-shaped flowers resembling bunches of grapes in the spring.

[1] Brian Mathew says that many species of grape hyacinths, including not only Muscari but also the related Leopoldia and Pseudomuscari, are difficult to distinguish.

The flowers appear in the spring and form a spike or raceme, being held in a close or loose spiral around a central stalk.

[3] The Muscarimia group are retained in Muscari by the Kew World Checklist of Selected Plant Families.

Thus the name M. racemosum is commonly found as an incorrect synonym for M. neglectum, with M. muscarimi or M. moschatum being used for the true M.

Naturally found in woodlands or meadows, they are commonly cultivated in lawns, borders, rock gardens and containers.
