Product Information

Full details

The Thompson and Morgan Narcissus 'Martinette' bulbs are perfect for gardeners looking to add fragrance and vibrant spring color to their outdoor spaces. These bulbs produce delicate yellow flowers with striking orange trumpets, offering multiple blooms per stem, which makes them ideal for borders, containers, or indoor vases. While they are easy to grow and highly versatile, gardeners should note that these bulbs require well-draining soil to prevent rot during the dormant season.

FAQs

Can I grow these indoors?

Yes, Narcissus 'Martinette' can be forced in containers for indoor fragrance, provided they are kept in a cool, bright location.

How deep should I plant them?

Plant them at a depth of about two to three times the height of the bulb.

Will these spread on their own?

Yes, once established, these bulbs will naturalize and multiply over the years, especially when grown in lawns or undisturbed borders.

Are these bulbs toxic to pets?

Like most Narcissus varieties, they contain alkaloids and should not be ingested by pets; keep them out of reach of curious animals.

When is the best time to plant them?

They should be planted in the autumn while the ground is still workable and before the first hard frosts.

Do I need to dig them up after winter?

No, these are hardy bulbs and can be left in the ground year-round in most climates.

Troubleshooting

Bulbs fail to emerge in spring

Check if the soil was too wet during winter, which may have caused the bulbs to rot.

Flowers are small or missing

Ensure the foliage was allowed to die back naturally the previous year so the bulb could gather enough nutrients.

Stems are floppy or falling over

Avoid over-fertilizing with nitrogen, which encourages too much leaf growth at the expense of sturdy stems.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Narcissus 'Martinette' bulbs thrive, follow these planting guidelines:

  1. Timing: Plant in the autumn months before the ground freezes.
  2. Depth: Bury bulbs at a depth approximately two to three times their own height.
  3. Spacing: Space bulbs 10-15cm apart to allow enough room for the 15cm spread.
  4. Soil: Ensure the area has excellent drainage. If planting in clay-heavy soil, add grit or sand to the planting hole.
  5. Sunlight: They are flexible but perform best when given at least partial sun throughout the day.
  6. Care: After flowering, allow the foliage to yellow and wither naturally; this allows the bulb to store energy for the following season. Do not tie or cut the leaves while they are still green.
