Product description
Rip van Winkle' is a cultivar with green, strap-like leaves and double, golden-yellow flowers, to 15cm high. The double flowers comprise densely-arranged, narrow, tapering petals in a star-like formation
Garden Care: Plant at least 10cm deep in the autumn. Space as desired or plant in clumps for a cluster display. Daffodils prefer a spot well sheltered from the wind, preferably with plenty of access to sun.
Best planted in well drained, fertile soil. Keep soil moist during the growing season and allow the leaves to die back naturally before deadheading. They can be lifted and moved once the foliage has died off or they can be left to naturalise when planted in grass or under trees, where they can be left undisturbed for years.
IMPORTANT - Autumn Bulb Availability
Please note that Autumn Bulbs are usually harvested around mid-August and available for dispatching mid-late August until December.
Upon purchasing you acknowledge that, whilst the listing delivery estimate may specify a date before this, ALL orders will be dispatched after the time stated above..

Instructions
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.
