The Marshalls Garden Daffodil 'Martinette' is an ideal choice for gardeners looking to add vibrant, fragrant color to mid-spring landscapes. Perfect for beginners and experienced growers alike, these bulbs are prized for their reliable return each year and ability to naturalize in garden beds or containers. While they offer exceptional fragrance and a long blooming season, they do require well-drained soil to prevent bulb rot during the winter months.

Plant these bulbs in the autumn, ideally between September and November, before the ground freezes.
Yes, 'Martinette' is excellent for containers, provided the pot has good drainage holes.
No, 'Martinette' is a reliable perennial and can be left in the ground to naturalize for several years.
A good rule of thumb is to plant the bulb at a depth roughly two to three times its own height.
Leave the foliage until it has turned yellow and died back completely; this is crucial for the bulb to gather energy for the next season.
Ensure bulbs have enough space and were planted at the correct depth; poor flowering can be a sign of bulb overcrowding.
Check for waterlogged soil during winter; if the area is too damp, the bulbs may have rotted.
Ensure the plants are receiving at least 6 hours of light; deep shade can inhibit flower development.
To ensure your 'Martinette' daffodils thrive, plant the bulbs in autumn at a depth of approximately two to three times the height of the bulb. Ensure the pointed end is facing upward and the soil is moist but well-drained. If planting in heavy clay soil, mix in horticultural grit or sand to improve drainage and prevent the bulbs from sitting in water.
After flowering, allow the foliage to die back naturally for at least six weeks before trimming. This process allows the bulb to store energy for next year’s growth. During the dormant summer period, keep the soil relatively dry, as excess moisture during dormancy can lead to bulb decay.
