Know before you buy
Yes, Narcissus bulbs contain compounds that make them unpalatable to deer and other garden pests like rabbits, making them a reliable choice for areas where wildlife pressure is a concern.
Absolutely. You can force these bulbs to bloom indoors by planting them in pots with well-draining soil and keeping them in a cool, dark place until shoots appear, then moving them to a sunny spot.
Naturalizing means the bulbs are vigorous enough to multiply and return year after year, spreading to create a more established, wild-looking drift of flowers in your landscape over time.
For optimal growth, plant the bulbs 6 inches deep. This depth protects them from temperature fluctuations and provides the stability they need to produce their 14-16 inch stems.
While they perform best in full sun, they are quite adaptable and will thrive in partial sun as well. Just ensure they receive at least a few hours of direct light to support healthy blooming.
