Naturalizing the Narcissus in Home Gardens
The narcissus naturalizes when planted in sod or partial shade, thriving for years with minimal care. Dig a 5 to 6 inch hole, set the bulb pointed end up, cover, and let nature proceed. Avoid rigid plantings and scatter bulbs like seed for best effect. In Europe and parts of North America, old plantings along the James River and New England gardens still bloom vigorously after decades.
