Hi, everyone--

I am trying to add 'layers' of color and interest to my daffodil garden and I am wondering which Muscari would be the best variety to add to daffs that bloom early and mid-season?

I think I need an early blooming muscari to get the bloom sequence to work---

--does anyone have experience with Muscari "Christmas Pearl"? That is an early bloomer according to Van Engelen and B & B.

I wonder if 'Blue Spike' would work, too?

Does anyone have other ideas for using muscari for the spring garden?

And to plant with late season daffs and early(ish) tulips--what muscari would you recommend for those?

Any advice or pics on using muscari in the spring garden would be appreciated! Thanks. t.

FYI Here's the muscari link for Van Engelen's http://www.vanengelen.com/catview.cgi?_fn=Product&_category=...
