Narcissus Cyclamineus Jetfire

Planting 

• 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 15 cm (6 in) deep and 15 to 20 cm (6 to 8 in) apart.
• Water thoroughly after planting.

Growing

• These bulbs do best in well-drained soil.
• These bulbs are suitable for almost every possible application: fields, beds, containers, borders, rock gardens, as cut flowers and for forcing.
• 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.

Taking Care 

• These bulbs are deer resistant and work great in areas where deer or rodents are a problem.
• Fertilize just before they start blooming.
• Remove the flowers when they are spent. Otherwise, the plant will divert energy from building up the bulb, which is necessary for next year’s display.

Winterizing

• After flowering, the leaves should be allowed to die down. The leaves will gather sunlight and provide nourishment for next year’s show.
• These bulbs come back for several years.
