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.

POTS AND CONTAINERS - Outdoors
Drainage hole(s) are essential. Cover holes with bits of old broken crockery to assist free drainage. For good root establishment, it is important to plant as soon as possible, and leave in a cool place until leaves appear. Plant in peat, compost or a mixture with soil and coarse sand, depth as above but bulbs may be planted much closer together. Protect from severe frost by bringing temporarily inside or wrapping with some material like bubble-wrap or even layers of newspaper.

POTS AND CONTAINERS - Indoors
Plant as for 'Outdoors'. Pots and containers should be at least twice as deep as the bulb. As before, good root establishment is essential so cool storage for at least 12 weeks is necessary. Keep in dark (or cover), or 'plunge' behind a north facing wall and cover with 6 inches of ash or sand. Keep moist and protect from mice. Plant all bulbs 2-4 inches below surface. Hyacinths may have bulb tip showing. Plant tulips with flat side outwards for best effect. When brought out for flowering keep in as strong a light as possible. Flowers will last longer if out in cool room at night. Keep well watered.
