Watier cliff narcissus

Plant bulbs at one-and-a-half times their own depth in autumn, slightly deeper in light soils and in grass, in well-drained preferably acidic soil that is moist in the growing season in spring, in full sun or light dappled shade. See daffodil cultivation for further advice

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

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

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

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
