FAQs

When is the best time to plant 'Peeping Tom' bulbs?

These bulbs are typically planted in the autumn to ensure they are established before the spring blooming period.

Can I grow these in pots indoors?

Yes, plant them in bulb fibre, keep them in a dark, cool garage (under 10°C) until they sprout, then move them to a bright, cool indoor spot.

How deep should I plant the bulbs?

Plant the bulbs at a depth of approximately 10cm.

Will these bulbs return every year?

Yes, as a perennial bulb, 'Peeping Tom' will return annually if given proper care and allowed to die back naturally after flowering.

What is the mature height of this daffodil?

The plant reaches a maximum height of approximately 30cm when fully established.

Are they suitable for lawns?

Absolutely; they are an excellent choice for naturalising in grass for an informal, wildflower effect.

Troubleshooting

Bulbs failing to sprout

Check soil drainage to ensure bulbs haven't rotted; ensure they were planted at the recommended 10cm depth.

Flowers appearing stunted

Ensure the planting area receives adequate sunlight; 'Peeping Tom' performs best in full sun or light shade.

Foliage yellowing too early

Avoid cutting back foliage until it has turned brown naturally, as the bulb needs this time to store energy.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reliable, strong-growing RHS Award-winning variety
  • Compact size fits easily into containers and small borders
  • Extended blooming period compared to other daffodils
  • Guaranteed to flower in the first year of planting
  • Excellent for naturalising in grass for a wild-garden look

Cons

  • Requires consistently moist, well-drained soil to perform best
  • Cannot be planted in waterlogged soil conditions
  • Indoor forcing requires specific temperature control

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To establish these bulbs, choose a spot in full sun or semi-shade. Dig a planting hole to a depth of approximately 10cm, ensuring the bulb is nestled into the soil with the pointed end facing up. Space each bulb at least 10cm apart to allow for proper root development and spread.

For ongoing care, ensure the soil remains moist but never waterlogged, as daffodils are prone to rotting in stagnant water. If growing in containers, monitor the moisture levels in the bulb fibre carefully. Once the flowering period concludes, allow the foliage to die back naturally, as this stores energy in the bulb for next year's growth.
