Know before you buy
These bulbs should be planted in the fall before the ground freezes. This allows them to establish their root systems during the cooler months so they are ready to bloom in early spring.
Yes, they are perennials that are known for their ability to naturalize. With proper care, they will multiply and return to bloom in your garden for many years.
Yes, Narcissus bulbs contain compounds that make them unpalatable to deer and most other garden pests, making them a reliable choice for areas where wildlife is a concern.
Absolutely. These daffodils are well-suited for containers, provided the pot has good drainage. You can even force them indoors for early spring color.
For best results, plant the bulbs at a depth of 6 inches. This depth helps protect them from temperature fluctuations and ensures they have enough stability as they grow to their full height.
They thrive in both full sun and partial shade. While they will perform best with plenty of sunlight, they are versatile enough to bloom reliably in areas with dappled light.
