Care Tips | Plant anytime from August-November. Plant pointy end up, 10-15cm deep with 8-10cm between each bulb in borders (less in containers). After flowering deadhead but allow leaves to die back naturally to give the bulbs strength for the following year. |
Flowering | March - April |
Vase Life | Narcissi make great cut flowers lasting up to a week in the vase. I love them jumbled up in large jugs on the table. Be careful mixing with other flower types as their stems give off a compound that is toxic to other flowers and soak their stems in warm water before displaying to stop the 'goo' from running out. |

Spring highlight
Reviewed 18th July 2017 by Debbie Planted these for the first time last autumn. How amazing they were. So tiny yet so perfectly formed. I planted them in pots and they flowered their little socks off. A beautiful sight in spring. |
