This member of the Hyacinthaceae family was given this name by Philip Miller in 1768. It is found in Turkey, growing in a rich but well drained soil with some water and some sun. The bulbs grow to two and a half centimetre, the plant up to 20 centimetres and 30 with the inflorescence with the pale blue to dark purple flowers.
The name of the genus Muscari comes from the Greek word moschos meaning 'musk' and referring to the sweet aromatic scent of the flowers which, together with their often deep blue colouring, has made them popular in cultivation. The species name means 'having racemes', a type of flower cluster. *) Accordantly to the latest taxonomic system; APG IV 2016, Hyacinthaceae is now part of the Asparagaceae.
