Know before you buy

These bulbs are hardy in zones 8 through 12. If you live in a colder climate, they should be grown in containers and brought indoors before the first frost.
The Cherry Nymph is known for its extended bloom time. With proper light and moderate watering, you can expect the flowers to remain vibrant for several weeks.
Yes, this variety is naturally resistant to deer and rabbits, making it a safer choice for outdoor garden beds where wildlife might otherwise browse on your plants.
