Genus and species: Muscari armeniacum
Common Name: Grape Hyacinth
Family Name: Asparagaceae
This plant comes from a true bulb which is hardy to zones 5-8. The leaves are long and grassy, and the flowers look like grape clusters with a light fragrance. They tend to reseed a lot so don't be surprised if you see them sprouting somewhere else in your yard!
