FAQs
How many bulbs are in a pack?
This pack contains 32 high-quality daffodil bulbs.
Can I grow Narcissus 'Suzy' in pots?
Yes, their compact 30-35cm height makes them excellent candidates for containers and window boxes.
Do I need to fertilize them?
While not strictly necessary in fertile soil, a light application of a bulb-specific fertilizer at planting time can boost performance.
Are these bulbs deer or rabbit resistant?
Like most narcissi, the chemical compounds in the bulbs make them generally unpalatable to deer and rabbits.
How far apart should I plant the bulbs?
Space the bulbs about 10-15cm apart to allow enough room for growth while still creating a lush effect.
When can I expect them to flower?
As a mid-season daffodil, you can typically expect 'Suzy' to bloom throughout the middle of the spring season.
Troubleshooting
Bulbs failing to emerge in spring
Check if the planting site became waterlogged during winter, which often leads to bulb rot. Ensure future plantings have better soil drainage.
Stems are weak or leaning
This is often caused by lack of sunlight (etiolation). Ensure bulbs are planted in a spot with at least 6 hours of direct sun.
Poor flowering in the second year
The foliage may have been cut back too early. Always allow the leaves to yellow completely before trimming to ensure the bulb stores enough energy.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Planting Time: Plant these bulbs in the autumn, ideally between September and November, before the ground freezes.
Soil Requirements: Ensure the planting site has excellent drainage. If your soil is heavy clay, add grit or horticultural sand to the planting hole.
Sun Exposure: Choose a location that receives full sun to partial shade. Full sun is preferred to ensure the strongest stem development.
Planting Depth: Plant the bulbs at a depth approximately two to three times the height of the bulb, with the pointed end facing upward.
Post-Flowering Care: After the flowers fade, allow the foliage to die back naturally for at least six weeks. This process sends essential nutrients back into the bulb for next year's bloom.
