Know before you buy
The Narcissus Erlicheer is known for its high productivity, typically producing 15 to 20 fragrant, double-flowered blooms per stem.
Yes, like most daffodils, the Erlicheer variety contains compounds that make them unpalatable to deer, rabbits, and other common garden critters.
Absolutely. These bulbs are excellent for forcing indoors, allowing you to enjoy their sweet fragrance and blooms before the spring season begins outside.
These bulbs perform best in locations that receive full sun to partial shade. Ensure they get at least a few hours of direct sunlight daily for the most robust flowering.
No, these are perennials. When planted in the appropriate USDA zones (6-9), they will return each spring and are known to naturalize well, meaning they will multiply and spread over time.
For best results, plant the bulbs 6 inches deep with 4 to 6 inches of spacing between each bulb to allow them enough room to develop properly.
