FAQs
Can I choose which colors I get in the pack?
No, the Citrus Sorbet collection is a randomized mix, making each pack unique.
When is the best time to plant these bulbs?
These are typically planted in the autumn months to ensure they establish roots before the ground freezes.
Are these bulbs deer-resistant?
Generally, daffodils contain alkaloids that make them unpalatable to deer and rodents.
How deep should I plant them in a container?
Maintain the same 10cm depth requirement as you would for garden borders.
Can I leave the bulbs in the ground after they flower?
Yes, they are perennial and will return the following year if the foliage is allowed to die back naturally.
Do I need to fertilize them?
While not strictly required, a balanced bulb fertilizer can be applied when new growth appears in early spring to encourage better blooms.
Troubleshooting
Bulbs failing to emerge in spring
Check if the bulbs were planted too deeply or if the soil became waterlogged over winter, which can cause bulb rot.
Foliage growing, but no flowers
The bulbs may not have received enough 'chilling' hours during winter or are not receiving enough sunlight once growth begins.
Flowers are stunted or wilting
Ensure consistent moisture during the growing season; if the soil is too dry during the peak bloom phase, the plants may wilt prematurely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure healthy growth, plant your bulbs approximately 10cm deep and 10cm apart. Use well-drained, fertile soil for the best results.
For Garden Planting: Clear the area of weeds and amend the soil with organic matter if it is heavy clay or very sandy.
For Container Planting: Place pots in a cool, dark location (such as a garage or shed) after planting. This mimics the natural subterranean environment of winter. Only move the containers to a bright, warmer spot once green shoots (noses) emerge from the soil.
Maintenance: After the blooms fade, leave the foliage to die back naturally. This allows the bulb to store energy for the following season. Avoid braiding or cutting the leaves until they have turned yellow/brown.
