Muscari Arrangement

Sheaves of muscari spring from a tray filled with candy Easter eggs.

This arrangement was made with appetizer bowls, which are big enough to hold one bunch of muscari, but any small vessels will work.

Tools and Materials

Vessels
Pea gravel
Muscari plants
Fresh or dried moss
1/2-inch-wide grosgrain ribbon
Shallow rectangular tray
Foil-covered chocolate eggs

How-To

  1. Line each vessel with 1/2 inch of gravel. Remove plants from containers; set one in each vessel. Cover root-ball with moss. Secure stems loosely with ribbon.
  2. Set vessels in tray. Fill tray with eggs, and tuck a few into moss.
  3. Water immediately and when they start to dry out.
