DON'T PLANT IPHEION!!! They will take over your yard like an invasive weed spreading via seeds that scatter EVERYWHERE. I planted a few (2-3) here and there in the front yard and we now have large patches of them yards away where I never even planted them, and coming up in between other plants. I've spent HOURS sifting HUNDREDS of them out of a small square-foot area of soil, only to have a new patch of them the next season. I'm starting to find them in the back yard now. They are my worse gardening mistake, ever! Some people will tell you they weren't invasive in their yard. But if they aren't invasive at all, they wouldn't have multiplied like rabbits in mine, would they? Don't take a chance with them, you might be one of the unlucky ones like me. DON'T PLANT IPHEION!! Consider yourself warned......... Jen

Hi Adam and everyone, Hmm. So it was not just me having little success with Minnow. Someone had problem with his Thalia earlier this year. I forgot where he got it from. Sun Disc/Sundisc didn't live long for me either. Just too crowded in my garden. Craigford is a mid season bloomer. Much earlier than Geranium. Looks almost like Geranium. Smells good too. re Leucojum. LOL. Amanda is right. Way too many leaves. Stay green longer than narcissi too. :-P But I love them. Planted only 25 the first year. Loved it so much I added 100 the next year. A mistake, because they multiply like rabbits. :-) I suggest that you plant no more than 25-30 and quite far apart, say 2' to give them room to increase. I like mine right in front of the border between Alchemilla mollis so I can admire its delicate beauty and Alchemilla can hide the Leucojum later in the season. Since it is white, it goes well with everything. I have clay soil. I learned that large size narcissi don't mind it one bit, but miniatures don't like it at all. I planted a couple hundred of N. bulbocodium on my lawn that had not really been cultivated hoping to get a drift of it. Didn't work. Only one bloomed then totally disappeared. Nell's reading suggestion is good. My soil is heavy clay. I have amended it over the years. In fact, I add leaves in the planting hole as I go. Here is what I actually do when I plant blulbs: Dig a deep hole, place a handfull of leaves and a pinch of bone meal at the bottom- a bit of soil-large bulb-a bit of soil & bone meal-a handful of leaves-a bit of soil with bone meal-minor or small bulb-soil-leaves-soil-another bulb-soil-leaves and a bit of soil. I call it composting in situ. LOL. My own invention. Works like charm. My garden beds is quite loamy now. Still rather heavy, though. I may plant 2 or 3 bulbs in one hole, depending on what I have. When I have mulch and/or compost I dump the whole thing on top of the beds whenever I clean them up.

Hey Elleni- I am planning on going to the feed store tomorrow to get discounted bulbs, they had some weird varieties. I like you cannot face the facts that planting season is over.... I will see what I can find to trade with you, or you are welcome to see my list ~ T
