The Narcissus Viridi Double Autumn Planting Bulb 8 Pack by Thompson and Morgan is an excellent choice for gardeners looking to extend the floral season with unique, soft lemon-yellow blooms that emerge when typical spring bulbs have faded. These hardy, low-maintenance daffodils provide a sophisticated, swirled aesthetic for borders, containers, or naturalized grass areas. While they offer exceptional visual interest, prospective growers should note that they require specific temperature management if grown indoors to ensure a successful, healthy bloom.

While they tolerate partial shade, they thrive best in full sun or light shade. Deep, heavy shade may result in weak stems and poor flowering.
Generally, no. If your soil or potting mix is rich in organic matter, the bulbs will have sufficient nutrients for the season.
This is a hardy variety designed for autumn planting, meaning it is bred to withstand normal garden winter conditions.
Water sparingly. The goal is to keep the soil slightly moist to the touch, but never allow the bulbs to sit in water.
Yes, as a hardy perennial bulb, they can be left in the ground to naturalize and return the following season.
Ensure the pre-flowering phase was kept cool (max 10°C). If the room was too warm initially, the plant may prioritize leaf growth over flowers.
Discard any bulbs that are soft to the touch, as they are likely rotted and will not produce a healthy plant.
Check soil drainage. Excess water sitting around the roots can inhibit proper development and nutrient uptake.
For outdoor planting, select a site with either full sun or partial shade and well-draining soil to prevent moisture accumulation around the bulb. When planting, ensure the pointed end faces upward and cover with soil. If forcing these bulbs indoors, store them in a cool environment (maximum 10°C) until growth begins, then transition them to a bright spot around 16°C. Watering should be kept consistent but light; the soil must remain moist, but never soggy. Feeding is generally unnecessary if you use quality, nutrient-rich potting compost or garden soil.
