Know before you buy
These bulbs should be planted in the fall before the ground freezes. This allows them to establish their root systems during the cooler months so they are ready to bloom in mid-spring.
Yes, they are excellent for containers. Ensure your pot has good drainage and space the bulbs about 4 to 6 inches apart to give them enough room to thrive.
Yes, Narcissus bulbs contain compounds that make them unpalatable to deer, squirrels, and other common garden pests. They are a reliable choice if you have issues with animals digging up your flower beds.
They perform best in full sun to partial shade. While they can handle some shade, providing at least six hours of sunlight will result in the most robust growth and vibrant blooms.
As a perennial, Bella Estrella bulbs can be left in the ground year-round in USDA zones 4 through 9. Simply allow the foliage to yellow and die back naturally after blooming to ensure the bulb stores enough energy for the following season.
