Care tips for successful Narcissus

Get the most out of your narcissus with our essential tips:

1. Planting at the right depth: Make sure to plant the narcissus bulbs at the right depth. In general, the bulbs should be planted two to three times as deep as their own height. Plant them pointed side up and planted firmly in the soil so they don't wobble in the wind.

2. Well-drained and nutrient-rich soil: Narcissus thrive best in well-drained soil that is rich in nutrients. Make sure the soil is well-drained to avoid excess water, which can lead to root rot. Add compost or organic matter to the soil before planting the bulbs to enrich the nutrients and encourage growth.

3. Don't over water: Excessive watering can be detrimental to narcissus. They don't need a lot of water, especially during their summer dormancy. Only water the bulbs when the soil feels dry to the touch, and avoid leaving the soil constantly moist. In autumn and winter narcissus usually need enough rainwater. Overwatering can lead to root rot and other problems, so be careful when watering.
