This fall we’re carrying locally grown narcissus bulbs that are ideal for problem soils and very dry conditions.
Bill the Bulb Baron’s narcissus bulbs are ideal for problem soils and very dry conditions. They are easy to grow in either sun or part-shade, and they are deer, gopher and squirrel resistant, as well as drought resistant.
These narcissus bulbs grow in the worst soils: clay/adobe, rocky, gravel, sandy, dry. The bulbs can be planted anywhere (except full shade) and will multiply and spread over the years.
Plant narcissus bulbs in outlying areas such as by a mailbox, roadside or driveway, hillside, waste area, or anywhere that is not full shade.
Bulbs can be left permanently in the ground if planted 5 or 6 inches deep (soak hard ground first to make it dig-able). Try scattering California poppy or alyssum seeds over the area for masses of color during the dormant season. Narcissus will bloom from October to February depending on variety. All are very fragrant!
These bulbs do not require refrigeration or winter cold, but can survive to at least zero degrees Fahrenheit. Separate holes for each bulb are not required. Just a few large holes are needed so they can be planted in groups.
