  • Information
  • Poeticus Narcissi
    Traditionally known as the Poet's Narcissi, these fragrant, naturalizing heirlooms usually yield one flower per stem with large glistening white petals (perianth) and a short or disk-shaped cup (corona) with a green and/or yellow center and a red rim. They are also much loved for the fact that deer and rodents do not like to eat them!

    All Narcissi tolerate a wide range of sunlight from full sun to semi-shade. Narcissi prefer well-draining soil, hate to get wet feet and love to be fed with a 4-10-6 or 5-10-5 granular organic flower bulb fertilizer three times a year. Allow the foliage to thrive and die back naturally without braiding or premature removal. DNII bulb size: 14/16 cm, unless otherwise noted. Bloom time in a horticultural zone 5: April/May. Plant 6" to 8" deep and 6" apart. Horticultural zones 3-7.Height: 14" to 16", depending upon variety. Narcissus classification: Royal Horticultural Society Division 9.
