I did plant the 'Saffier' close together (4 to 6 inches), but I try to be very random in planting them, thinking I can play mother nature. Ha, not so good at it, ever. I think I will plant the next batch of these a bit more scattered as they are big. The regular armeniacum are good at spreading so I would plant them according to your patience. If you need instant gratification I would plant them 3" to 4" apart or less. But the toss to scatter method is best, though I seem to loose bulbs that way. I think I should toss handfuls of gravel and then plant the bulbs, then pick up the rocks and move on. Never have done that though. My favorite is perhaps the two toned one which I planted a couple of years ago, Muscari latifolium and I adore the pale blue one Valerie Finnis which you can sort of see at the top of the picture taken on May 5th. I hope they spread quickly. Next year there will be a small army along the other side of the stream if I can get them on sale in Nov. Armies are expensive. I do have a nice patch of the late blooming Muscari comosum under the cedar which I am adding more to. Love muscari. Patti
