CHOOSING - daffodil
Bulbs available August - November. Choose firm daffodil and crocus
bulbs and corms and take special care to note time of flowering,
height and colour.
PLANTING - Plant
in free draining soil as soon as possible in autumn; 6-7 inches
deep 5-6 inches apart (large bulbs), 4-6 inches deep 5-6 inches
apart (hyacinths and smaller bulbs), 2-4 inches deep 4-5 inches
apart (small bulbs and corms).
NATURALISING
- Daffodils and narcissi as well as crocus are particularly suitable.
Plant in grass verges, lawn edges, hedgerows, banks, around trees
(not in deep shade), ponds etc. Plant at random. To prize-up turf
with sharp spade is a quick way to plant.
AFTERCARE -
Always allow leaves to die back naturally and completely before
cutting off. Clear dead leaves and debris and keep serious weeds
in check. Potash-rich fertiliser (little or no Nitrogen) is beneficial
to all bulbs applied in autumn or very early spring. Bulbs in flowerbeds
may be dug up and dried in late June/July and re-planted in autumn.
