Product Information

Full details

Narcissus Viridi 2 is an ideal choice for gardeners looking to extend their seasonal interest into the cooler months, offering a rare autumn-flowering experience for enthusiasts of unique perennials. The primary benefit of this variety is its ability to bloom when most daffodils are dormant, coupled with a distinct mint and liquorice fragrance. However, gardeners should note that it requires specific soil conditions and is sensitive to waterlogging, necessitating well-drained ground to thrive.

FAQs

When is the best time to plant Narcissus Viridi 2?

These bulbs should be planted in early autumn to allow them to establish before their flowering period.

Can I grow these in containers?

Yes, they perform well in pots as long as the container has excellent drainage and is not allowed to sit in water.

Does this daffodil require a dormant period?

Yes, like all hardy perennials, it will enter a dormant state after the foliage dies back following the flowering season.

How do I deal with waterlogged soil?

Add horticultural grit or compost to the planting hole to improve drainage, or relocate the bulbs to a raised bed.

Are they fragrant?

Yes, they possess a distinct and unusual fragrance often described as a mix of mint and liquorice.

Do I need to feed them every year?

A light application of balanced fertilizer during the growing season is recommended to maintain plant health and blooming potential.

Troubleshooting

Bulbs failing to sprout

Check soil drainage. If the area is prone to waterlogging, the bulbs may have rotted. Improve drainage with grit or sand before replanting.

Flowers are weak or sparse

Ensure the bulbs are receiving adequate light and that they are not being crowded by aggressive neighboring plants or weeds.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure success, plant Narcissus Viridi 2 bulbs in early autumn. Select a spot that receives full sun or partial shade, ensuring the soil is moist yet remains well-drained.

  1. Soil Preparation: Ensure the ground is loose and free of heavy clay that retains too much water.
  2. Planting Depth: Bury bulbs at a depth approximately three times their own height.
  3. Spacing: Space them 10-15cm apart to allow for proper airflow and root development.
  4. Maintenance: Keep the soil consistently moist during the growth phase but never saturated. Apply a light, balanced fertilizer at the start of the growing season to support strong flowering. Avoid heavy mulch that might keep the crown of the bulb overly damp during dormant periods.
