Know before you buy
These bulbs should be planted in the spring once the soil has warmed and the danger of frost has passed. This timing allows them to establish roots before their late-summer blooming period.
Yes, these varieties can thrive in containers as long as you use a well-draining potting mix and ensure the pots receive adequate sunlight. Be mindful that containers may require more frequent watering than garden beds.
These are perennial plants, meaning they are designed to return year after year in USDA Hardiness Zones 5 through 9. In colder climates, you may need to provide winter protection or lift the bulbs depending on your specific local conditions.
For the best results, plant these in a location that receives full sun to partial sun. Providing at least six hours of direct sunlight daily will encourage the most vibrant blooms and sturdy stems.
This collection is specifically selected for its deer resistance. While no plant is entirely deer-proof if food sources are scarce, these varieties are generally unappealing to local wildlife.
Absolutely. The Crocosmia, Foxtail Lily, and Asiatic Lily included in this collection are excellent for cut flower arrangements, offering both unique textures and long-lasting color for your home.
