The Deer Resistant Bulb Garden in a Bag offers a thoughtfully curated mix of 18 premium bulbs designed to create a vibrant and enduring spring garden. This selection features two resilient varieties: the radiant yellow daffodils (Narcissus) and the enchanting Glories of the Snow (Chionodoxa). Each variety is individually bagged and labeled, providing you with the freedom to plant them in combinations that suit your garden's design.
These bulbs are ideal for planting in the fall before the first frost. The colorful daffodils stand tall and proud, their trumpet-shaped blooms and sturdy stems reaching heights of up to 18 inches, while the Glories of the Snow add a delicate touch with their star-shaped blossoms that rise modestly to 4 inches. The blend of these heights and colors creates a visually dynamic landscape that evolves over the course of the spring season.
In addition to their beauty, these bulbs are naturally deer-resistant, making them perfect for gardens in areas where deer are a common concern. The robust daffodils, known for their vigorous growth and longevity, complement the Glories of the Snow, which naturalize effortlessly, forming dense, low-maintenance carpets of color that return year after year.
To plant, select a sunny to partially shady location with well-draining soil. Space the bulbs 4 to 8 inches apart and plant them 4 to 8 inches deep. For the best results, keep the soil moist but not waterlogged, particularly during the growing season. As growth begins in spring, apply a balanced fertilizer like Espoma Organic® Bulb-tone® Bulb and Flower Food to support healthy, vigorous blooms. After flowering, remove spent blooms promptly but allow the foliage to die back naturally, as this process is crucial for the bulbs to store energy for the next season's growth.
In USDA Zones 8-10, it's recommended to refrigerate the bulbs for at least eight weeks before planting to mimic the cold dormancy period these bulbs require. This simple step will ensure that your bulbs bloom beautifully in the spring.
The Deer Resistant Bulb Garden in a Bag provides a versatile and reliable solution for planting in our garden beds or patio containers. Enjoy a stunning spring display that will thrive year after year.
