About Pre-Chilled Bulbs:
Chilling during the bulb's dormant period is required for flower development. These have been pre-chilled for use in Zones 9-10, but are ready for any planting zone! In Zones 9–10, because chilling does not naturally occur, bulbs will only bloom once, in the spring following planting of prechilled bulbs.
Planting Bulbs:
Loosen the soil to a depth of 8–12" to help ensure adequate root establishment. Adding a layer of compost to the root zone at planting will also aid in root establishment and plant growth. Keep soil moist, but not saturated. Press bulbs, upright, into the prepared soil (with the pointed end up and the fatter, flat end down). Cover bulbs with soil 2½–3 times deeper than the bulb height; deeper in locations with light soil. For example; a 1½" tall bulb should be covered with 4–5" of soil. As a rule of thumb; planting a bit too deep is better than planting too shallow. Planting each bulb at the same depth will help ensure that they all bloom at the same time. Water immediately after planting. Continue to water regularly, keeping the soil moist but not soggy until the ground freezes.
PLANT SPACING:
1–6" apart. Wider spacing allows room for bulbs to multiply. Do not break apart bulb clumps that have smaller bulbs attached at the base. Plant them as an intact cluster. Here in Southern California we generally plant around 1-3" apart as most do not rebloom!
LIGHT PREFERENCE:
Sun/Part Shade Sun or partial sun. Narcissus tolerate part shade, especially during hot weather. Plants require at least 5–6 hours of sun per day at the time of bloom. In the heat of Southern California we have had very good luck with partial shade for good stem length!
