This member of the Hyacinthaceae  family was given this name by  Pierre Edmond Boissier in 1882. It is found around the Mediterranean, growing in a well drained soil with some water and some sun. The bulb can grow to six centimetres in diameter , the plant to 40 centimetre, 60 with the flower.  The name of the genus "Muscari" comes from the Greek word for "moschos" meaning 'musk' and refers to the sweet aromatic scent of the flowers which, together with their often deep blue colouring, has made them popular in cultivation. "graecum" means Greek.
