The listing, Wild Star of Bethlehem bulbs has ended.

Wild Star of Bethlehem bulbs. Now is the time to get these, and bury them before winter! That way they will grow very well in the spring. These are growing all over my yard and gardens. I can send you however many you would like. Great and easy to grow! Sun and Soil: Star-of-Bethlehem flowers grow best with at least 4 to 6 hours of daily sun. A combination of morning and afternoon sun is acceptable. As bulbs, they need well-draining soil where water doesn't puddle in winter and spring. Space the tiny bulbs about 2 to 3 inches apart. Twenty to 25 of them fill 1 square foot of soil. Ongoing Fertilizer: Star-of-Bethlehem plants don't need regular fertilizing. Watering Schedule: From the time flower buds appear in spring until the leaves die back in summer, star-of-Bethlehem needs 1 inch of rainfall or supplemental water each week. Six gallons of water per 10 square feet of soil amounts to 1 inch. Avoid overwatering the bulbs during rainy weather. Stop watering after the foliage dies and the bulbs go dormant in summer to reduce the risk of bulb rot. Drooping Leaves: It's perfectly natural for star-of-Bethlehem's grassy foliage to droop when the flowers appear, and to turn yellow when they die. The plants looks their worst during the post-bloom period, but their limp leaves are still busy photosynthesizing food for the next growing season. Wait until they turn completely yellow before pulling them up by hand. These do multiply quickly, and before long, you will have many! JUST LET ME KNOW HOW MANY YOU WANT SO I CAN CALCULATE POSTAGE!
