Appearance
M. neglectum is a herbaceous plant growing from a bulb. The flower stems are 5–20 cm tall. The flowers are arranged in a spike or raceme and are dark blue with white lobes at their tips (teeth); there may be a cluster of paler sterile flowers at the top of the spike. The raceme is 2–6 cm long. The fruit is a 3-celled capsule with two ovules in each cell.It is a very well known species in cultivation (being described as the "common" Grape Hyacinth by Mathew); it increases rapidly and can become invasive. The name M. racemosum is commonly found as a synonym for M. neglectum in the horticultural literature, although the true M. racemosum Mill. is a different species.
