  • Notes

Narcissus sp. is a spring-flowering bulb. They are permanent, increasing form year to year. Leaves are straight and flat or narrow and rushlike. Flowers are composed of right angled petals surrounding the trumpet in the center. Flowers usually face sun. Keep that in mind when selecting planting place.
Planting Instructions: 1. Dig a hole 2 times the width and 1 and 1/2 times the height of the container. 2. Set rootball at ground level. 3. Prepare soil mix of equal parts soil and soil amendment. 4. Backfill with amended soil. 5. Build Basin and water.
