Sowing, Seeds, Planting | These bulbs have been specially prepared for growing indoors. For best results, plant as soon as possible after arrival but if you do not want to plant them straight away, we recommend keeping them somewhere cool and dark (like an outdoor shed or garage) at around 8-15°C before planting. You may notice a small green shoot coming out of the bulb when you receive them, this is the first sign of growth and should not be removed. Use a loam-based compost, lightened with some grit, place the bulb with its pointy tip just below the soil surface, and fill in around it. Keep the compost moist but not dripping wet. |
Care Tips | Plant the bulbs just below the soil surface, pointy end up with 5-8cm (2-3in) between each bulb. After planting, store them somewhere cool, like a garage, and move them inside the house once the shoots are 4-5cm tall. Use a decorative nest of twigs as support as they grow to keep them from flopping. |
Flowering | Once shoots are 4-5cm tall, bring them inside the house and they will flower in about 4-6 weeks. |

Narcissus 'Inbal' and Terracotta Bowl Collection reviews
Reviewed 15th January 2021 by Pennie I'm dissapointed with this product. It took much much longer to arrive than anticipated. The bowl has holes in the bottom but no base was provided which means trying to find an alternative base for any excess water to drain theough and although 5 bulbs were promised only 4 arrived which were already growing. I hope they will survive. |
Reviewed 15th January 2021 by Shirley After very long delay the bowl of bulbs arrived Christmas week delivered to my friend. She was delighted and particularly loved the bowl. Although long delay in delivery, staff were always polite and apologetic . Well done in the end. |
