Deer Resistant Bulb Garden in a Bag

Plant these deer-resistant bulbs in the fall before the first frost, and by spring, your garden will come alive with a vibrant multicolored mix of yellow daffodils (Narcissus) and glories of the snow (Chionodoxa). This Deer Resistant Bulb Garden in a Bag contains 18 bulbs, offering a harmonious blend of complementary colors, staggered bloom times, and varied plant heights ranging from 4 to 18 inches. Each variety is individually bagged and labeled, providing you with maximum versatility for your garden design.

These bulbs are often grown as annuals, making them perfect for grouping in flower beds and borders, mixing in containers, or planting in sweeping drifts for a more dramatic effect. When planted in the appropriate zones and under optimal conditions, these bulbs may naturalize, multiplying and returning year after year, adding lasting beauty to your landscape.

Deer-resistant and easy to grow, these bulbs thrive in sunny to partially sunny locations with well-draining soil. For best results, plant the bulbs 4 to 8 inches apart and 4 to 8 inches deep. Once growth begins, feed the bulbs with a well-balanced fertilizer like Espoma Organic® Bulb-tone® Bulb and Flower Food to encourage robust flowering. After blooming, remove the spent flowers, but allow the leaves to yellow and wither naturally before removing them. This process helps the bulbs store energy for future growth and blooming. In USDA Zones 8-10, refrigerate the bulbs for at least eight weeks to ensure proper dormancy.
