Top Tip
When the foliage starts to yellow and die back at the end of the season, resist the urge to prune it. Allowing the plant to die back naturally enhances its energy levels, resulting in a wonderful display of flowers the following year.
How to Water
Water thoroughly when planting. After this, narcissus planted in the ground should only need to be watered during dry spells. Bulbs grown in pots and containers will need watering more regularly to prevent the soil from drying out.
How to Plant
Plant narcissus bulbs from September to November in full sun or partial shade with moderately fertile, moist but well-draining soil. Dig holes around 5-10cm apart and plant one bulb in each hole at a depth 3 times the height of the bulb. Ensure the pointed end faces upwards then backfill with soil and compost, firm down, and water in well.
