Planting Tips.
As with most bulb flowers you plant in late autumn. The plant will thrive in the full spring sun. The bulbs are placed about 5" apart and 5 to 8" deep.
Narcissus are doing great in containers, in flower beds and are great cutting flowers. They are resistant to most pests. Their biggest enemy is the Narcissus-Bulb fly larvae.
