| Identification | Grape-hyacinths grow as tufts of narrow dark green leaves, with a flowering stalk 5-10 inches tall (it grows as flowers and fruits are produced). The flowers are bunched at first, dark blue and spherical-shaped. M. neglectum -- a much more common species in the state -- has leaves rounded in cross-section (vs. flat or channeled in this species), and its flowers are more tubular (longer than wide). | |
