Care Guide

Cultivation

Plant bulbs in autumn at one-and-a-half times their own depth, slightly deeper in light soils, in well-drained soil that is reasonably moist in the growing season in spring, in full sun; for more advice, see daffodil cultivation

Pruning

Deadhead as the flowers fade, but allow the leaves to die down naturally

Propagation

Propagate by seed, sown as soon as ripe in deep containers in a cold frame, or by division: separate and replant offsets as the leaves fade in early summer, or in early autumn before new roots are produced

Pests

May be affected by slugs, snails, large narcissus bulb fly, narcissus eelworm, and pollen beetles

Diseases

May be affected by narcissus basal rot, narcissus leaf scorch, narcissus smoulder, tulip grey bulb rot, other fungal diseases, narcissus yellow stripe virus, and other virus diseases
