Planting & Care Instructions
- Planting Time: Plant bulbs in the fall before the ground freezes, typically between September and November.
- Location: Choose a sunny or partially shaded spot with well-drained soil. Narcissus 'Art Design' thrives in areas with plenty of sunlight but can tolerate some shade.
- Depth & Spacing: Plant the bulbs 5 inches deep and 4-5 per square foot. Ensure the pointed end faces upwards.
- Fertilization: Before planting, apply 1-2 pounds of a balanced 5-5-5 fertilizer per 100 square feet. This provides essential nutrients for strong root development and healthy growth. Mix the fertilizer into the soil thoroughly, and water well after planting.
- Watering: Water the bulbs thoroughly after planting. During the growing season, keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged.
- After Bloom Care: Allow the foliage to die back naturally after blooming; this helps the bulbs store energy for the next season. Avoid cutting back the leaves too soon.
