Peruvian daffodil [3]

Can be grown outdoors in summer, plant bulb with the neck and shoulder just above the soil surface, in moist but well-drained soil in full sun or light shade. Lift bulbs for winter and keep in a dry, frost free place. Under glass grow in a container of loam-based potting compost (JI No.2) with added leaf mould and grit in bright, filtered light. During the growing season, water freely and apply a general liquid fertiliser every 2-3 weeks. Stand container on a saucer of damp gravel to increase humidity. In the winter months keep compost just lightly moist and temperatures above 10°C.

No pruning required

Propagate by seed, sowing them in containers at 19-24°C when ripe; alternatively remove bulb offsets in autumn- see bulb propagation advice
