Know before you buy
These bulbs should be planted in the fall. This allows them to establish their root systems during the cooler months before they bloom in early to mid-spring.
Yes, these are perennial bulbs. They are designed to naturalize, meaning they will return and multiply each year, providing a fuller display over time.
Absolutely. These bulbs are well-suited for container planting, making them a great option for patios or small spaces where you want a concentrated burst of spring color.
The collection includes several deer-resistant varieties. While no plant is entirely immune to hungry wildlife, these selections are generally less appealing to deer than other common garden bulbs.
These bulbs are quite adaptable and thrive in clay, sandy, or loam soils, provided the area has good drainage. We recommend using a soil amendment like Yum Yum Mix® at planting time to support healthy root development.
These bulbs perform best in areas that receive full sun to partial sun. Ensure they are planted in a location that gets adequate light during the spring growing season.
