Description
The Narcissus ‘Actaea’ bulb looks very similar to the Narcissus 'Pheasant's Eye'. We will discuss the difference below.
'Actaea': blooms in April, wider petals, works in any kind of well-drained soil; white fragrant blooms with small yellow cups that are trimmed in red with green centers
'Pheasant's Eye': blooms in May, smaller petals, works best in damper soil conditions or water more often
Plant the bulbs about 2-3 times the size of the bulb (so if the bulb is 1 inch long, plant it 2-3 inches deep). If you are farther north and get very cold during the winter, you may want to plant it about 4-6 inches deep. Space the holes about 3-6 inches apart, and for a more natural looking display, consider planting 2-3 bulbs in each hole.
