Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your double daffodil mix bulbs is straightforward, ensuring a spectacular display each spring. These resilient plants thrive with basic attention, making them an excellent choice for gardeners of all skill levels. For optimal growth and bloom, choose a site with the right light and soil conditions.

Plant your narcissus bulbs for garden use in a location that receives full sun to partial shade, meaning at least 4–6 hours of direct sunlight daily. While they can tolerate some shade, more sun generally leads to more abundant blooms. The ideal soil should be well-drained and moderately fertile. Avoid areas where water tends to collect, as soggy conditions can lead to bulb rot. Dig a hole approximately two to three times the height of the bulb and place the bulb with the pointed end facing upwards. Space bulbs about 4-6 inches apart for a naturalized look or closer for a denser display. After planting, water thoroughly to settle the soil around the bulbs.

During active growth and blooming in spring, keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Once the foliage begins to yellow and die back after flowering, reduce watering significantly, allowing the bulbs to enter dormancy. Fertilize in early spring when shoots emerge and again after flowering with a balanced granular fertilizer. These perennial flower bulbs prefer temperatures between 45 degrees Fahrenheit to 65 degrees Fahrenheit during their active growth phase and are hardy in USDA Zones 3-9. Low to moderate humidity is generally preferred. Do not cut back the foliage until it has completely yellowed and withered, as this allows the bulb to store energy for next year’s blooms. Dividing overcrowded clumps every few years can help maintain vigorous flowering.
