Product Information

Full details

The Thompson and Morgan Daffodil Jonquilla Martinette is ideal for gardeners of all experience levels looking to add a touch of spring elegance to their outdoor borders or indoor floral displays. These bulbs are prized for their ability to produce multiple stems of fragrant, golden-yellow flowers with striking orange trumpets, offering a sophisticated aesthetic to any garden. While they provide a long-lasting and vibrant display, potential growers should note that success depends on proper soil drainage to prevent bulb rot during the dormant winter months.

FAQs

When is the best time to plant these bulbs?

These bulbs should be planted in the autumn, before the ground freezes, to ensure they develop roots before the spring growing season.

Can these be grown in containers?

Yes, they are excellent for containers provided the pots have drainage holes and the soil is kept well-drained.

How deep should I plant the bulbs?

Plant them at a depth of about 10-15cm, with the pointed end facing upward.

Do I need to fertilize them?

While not strictly necessary for the first year, adding a balanced bulb fertilizer at planting time can help establish strong roots.

Will they come back next year?

Yes, these are perennial bulbs that will return year after year if allowed to die back naturally after flowering.

Are they fragrant?

Yes, Jonquilla daffodils are specifically noted for their sweet and pleasant fragrance.

Troubleshooting

Bulbs failing to sprout in spring

Check if the planting depth was correct or if the soil was too wet during winter, leading to bulb decay.

Flowers are stunted or small

Ensure bulbs are planted in a location that receives sufficient sunlight; daffodils generally require at least six hours of sun.

Foliage is long but no flowers appear

This often indicates the bulb is not getting enough sun or was planted too deeply in the soil.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure optimal growth, plant your Daffodil Jonquilla Martinette bulbs in the autumn months. Dig a hole approximately 10-15cm deep, placing the bulb with the 'nose' or pointed end facing upward. Space bulbs roughly 10cm apart to allow for proper airflow and root development. If planting in pots, ensure the soil remains moist but never waterlogged. After flowering, allow the foliage to die back naturally rather than cutting it down immediately; this allows the bulb to store energy for the following year's growth. Once the leaves have turned yellow and withered, they can be trimmed back. If the bulbs become overcrowded in a garden bed after several years, lift and divide them to maintain vigor.
