Muscari armeniacum "Manon" - this is a two-tone fragrant flower. The diameter of the inflorescence reaches up to 2 cm, and its height – up to 5-7 cm. The inflorescence consists of very small barrel-shaped flowers, endowed with a sweet musky aroma. This muscari variety differs from others in its two-tone coloring of the buds. All buds consist of one solid petal with wavy frills along the edge.
In the case of the upper buds, the light frills merge with the same white bud. From the center to the bottom of the inflorescence are blue buds with a prominent white ruffle. Large muscari buds open much earlier, giving an unusual aroma.
