White Flower Farm Lycoris aurea

These bulbs ship in mid-September and should be planted immediately upon arrival. Planting in the fall allows the bulbs to establish their root systems before the dormant winter period.

Lycoris aurea can be temperamental after being moved. While some may bloom the first season, it is common for them to take a year or two to settle in and produce their signature flower stalks.

Yes, Lycoris aurea contains compounds that make them unpalatable to deer and rodents. They are an excellent choice for garden areas where wildlife pressure is a concern.

Absolutely. They perform well in pots, provided you use a well-draining potting mix. Ensure the container is deep enough to accommodate the bulbs and place it in a location that receives appropriate sunlight.

The foliage typically emerges after the bloom cycle and dies back in the summer. You should allow the leaves to yellow and wither naturally, as this process helps the bulb store energy for the next season's growth.

Plant the bulbs with the neck just at or slightly below the soil surface. Unlike many other bulbs, Lycoris aurea prefers to have the top of the bulb near the surface level.
