How to Grow
Narcissus Replete
- Narcissus bulbs should be planted outdoors in October and November, with the pointed end facing upwards, at a depth of approximately 10cm (4”).
- Choose a sunny or semi shaded position in moist, free draining soil.
- Narcissus and daffodils look particularly eye-catching when grown in drifts in borders or informal areas of grass. Cast the bulbs across the area and plant them where they land for a really natural effect.
- For an attractive indoor display, plant in containers in bulb fibre and position them cool garage or other well ventilated, dark position at a maximum temperature of 10°C. Water when necessary to keep the compost moist. When the growing shoots reach a height of 10cm (4”) move the containers to a cool bright position indoors (approximately 16°C).
- Aftercare
- When growing narcissus, it is essential to allow their foliage to die back naturally before removing it in June/ July. This will help to feed the bulb and ensure another cheery display next spring.
