Care Guide

Planting Advice for your Narcissus and Muscari Bulbs

• Plant bulbs at twice the depth of the height of the bulb and four times their width apart. e.g. 5cm tall bulbs need to be planted 10cm below the surface of the ground and 20cm apart.
• They are fine to plant even if a little green growth is showing, they?ll just need a good watering when you plant them, and then only when the soil is dry.
• Leave them in the ground once they die back for flowers again next year.
• While all the energy that a bulb needs in order to grow is stored in the bulb itself, they will do better if you feed them when in active green growth.

Aftercare Advice

• Daffodils and Muscari can be planted as late as December, but it?s best to do it as soon as possible in autumn so that they can establish a good root system before the weather becomes too cold.
• Water frequently and ensure pots don?t dry out.

Cutting Back

• Once flowering is over, it is important to leave the leaves on until they have died right down. This allows the bulb to store food and produce flowers the following year.
• Never tie up daffodil leaves or cut it back whilst still green.
