Product Information

Full details

The Narcissus St Patrick's Day daffodil is ideal for gardeners looking to extend their spring display with a unique, late-blooming variety featuring delicate green-tinged petals. Perfectly suited for borders, containers, or naturalized garden corners, these bulbs offer a reliable way to bring early seasonal color to your landscape. While they provide a stunning, patriotic aesthetic and work well as cut flowers, gardeners should note that they require moist but well-drained soil to thrive and perform best when planted in sunny or semi-shaded areas.

FAQs

When is the best time to plant these bulbs?

These bulbs should be planted in the autumn before the ground freezes.

Can I plant these in pots?

Yes, they are highly suitable for containers, provided the pot has good drainage.

Do I need to lift the bulbs every year?

No, they are hardy and can be left in the ground to naturalize for several years.

What should I do after the flowers fade?

Leave the foliage in place until it turns yellow and dies back naturally to help the bulb store energy.

How deep should I plant them?

Aim for a planting depth of approximately 10-15cm.

Will they grow in full shade?

While they tolerate semi-shade, they perform significantly better and produce stronger stems in sunny or partially sunny spots.

Troubleshooting

Bulbs fail to emerge in spring

Check soil moisture levels; ensure the soil was not waterlogged during the winter, which can cause bulbs to rot.

Stems are weak or drooping

Ensure they are planted in a location with adequate light; lack of sun can lead to 'leggy' or stretched growth.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For the best results, plant the bulbs during the autumn months in moist, well-drained soil. Choose a location that receives either full sun or semi-shade. Dig a hole roughly 10-15cm deep, place the bulb with the pointed end facing upward, and cover it back with soil. If you are planting in containers, use a high-quality bulb compost and ensure the pots are raised off the ground to improve drainage during the wet winter months. After the flowers fade, allow the foliage to die back naturally for at least six weeks; this allows the bulb to store energy for the following year.
