Know before you buy
These bulbs should be planted in the fall before the ground freezes. This allows them to establish roots during the cooler months so they are ready to bloom in early spring.
Yes, this collection is well-suited for containers. Ensure your pot has adequate drainage holes and use a high-quality, well-draining potting mix to prevent the bulbs from rotting.
Yes, these are perennial bulbs. They are designed to naturalize, meaning they will multiply and return each spring, gradually spreading to create a denser carpet of color over time.
While no plant is 100% deer-proof, the varieties in this collection are specifically chosen for their deer resistance. They are generally unappealing to deer and other browsing wildlife.
These bulbs thrive in well-drained soil and perform best in locations that receive full sun to partial shade. Avoid planting them in areas where water tends to pool, as soggy soil can damage the bulbs.
For optimal growth, plant the bulbs approximately 3 inches deep. This depth provides the necessary insulation and stability for the bulbs to emerge successfully in the spring.
