Nectaroscordum Growing Guide

Planting Nectaroscordum

Plant these bulbs in fall.
If you cannot plant your bulbs right away store them in a cool, dry, dark location, like a basement.
Plant them with the pointy end up in a sunny to semi-shaded area about 13 cm (5 in) deep and 10 to 13 cm (4 to 5 in) apart.
Water thoroughly after planting.

Growing Nectaroscordum

These bulbs do best in well-drained soil.
These bulbs are suitable for almost every possible application: fields, beds, containers, borders, rock gardens and as cut flowers.
These bulbs look good planted in groups at the base of trees or in wooded areas.
Plant in groups of eight or more bulbs which then appear more natural.

Care Nectaroscordum

These bulbs are deer resistant and work great in areas where deer or rodents are a problem.
When in bloom, feel free to cut some flowers for bouquets. The flowers can be picked without damaging the plant.
These flowers attract hummingbirds and butterflies.

Winterizing Nectaroscordum

After flowering, the leaves should be allowed to die down. The leaves will gather sunlight and provide nourishment for next year’s show.
It is helpful to fertilize the bulbs through winter and also as the foliage dies down in summer.
These bulbs come back for several years.
