– Muscari armeniacum grows wild in the Caucasus, extending to Anatolia and the Balkan Peninsula, and is widely cultivated as an ornamental plant in spring flower gardens ( Mashkovska 2015; Stuart 2011). Examples of spontaneous spread of M. armeniacum in botanical gardens and dendrological parks were reported ( Shynder & al. 2022). As an established neophyte, M. armeniacum has already been indicated for Austria ( Fischer & al. 2008: 1076), the Czech Republic (Pyšek & al. 2012), France ( Tison & Foucault 2014), Germany ( Hand & al. 2023), Great Britain and Ireland ( Stace 2010: 922), Italy ( Conti & al. 2005), and as casual with uncertain degree of naturalization in some other European countries ( Belgium, Finland, the Netherlands, see Euro+Med 2006+). In Ukraine, this plant currently has the status of a casual alien, escaped from cultivation. It is observed growing spontaneously in cities and suburbs, at various distances apart from flower gardens where it is grown. It reproduces well by seeds, so it may become naturalized in Ukraine in the near future.
