Cultivation instructions

Tazetta narcissi such as Narcissi Division 8 Tazetta Soleil D’Or are highly fragrant and can be used to grow indoors. Plant them in pots, containers and rockeries as well as borders in the garden. In heavier soils add grit or well rotted organic matter to help with drainage. In lighter soils such as sand add humus matter which will help to retain nutrients and water. Cultivate the soils to a depth of 15-20cms and plant bulbs 10cms deep and 10cms apart. When planting in containers the distance apart can be reduced to 5cms if required. Protect the early growth in the spring from slugs and snails and remove dead heads after flowering to get the best from them. Remember to feed the bulbs during the leaf and flower stage with bone meal, tomato feed or similar.

A highly scented group of varieties which will work really well when planted with fragrant Hyacinths.
