Plant during the recommended period shown in the variety’s specifications. If you cannot plant straight away, store them somewhere cool, dry and well ventilated.
Don’t you love it when your amazing bulbs keep coming back every spring? People may think you’re spending a fortune on your garden, but one planting is all it takes. Both Narcissus 'Thalia' and Muscari armeniacum are reliable re-bloomers, and planting them together results in a marvellously elegant blue and white flowering display with the taller blooms of the white narcissus drifting above a sea of blue Muscari. Try it for yourself! Many years of experience tell us that you’ll see both of these plants flowering at the same time, and that the combination will bring you enormous pleasure every spring.
Each Iced Splendour Collection package contains:
- 10 x Narcissus 'Thalia' bulbs
- 25 x Muscari armeniacum bulbs
Needless to say, all bulbs are top-size for an optimal performance.

Check whether your varieties prefer sun or shade, then choose a sheltered spot with well-drained soil. Most spring bulbs also grow well in containers.
Remove weeds and loosen compacted soil. Improve heavy ground with organic matter and horticultural grit. For containers, use peat-free multipurpose compost and ensure good drainage.
Plant at the depth recommended for each variety, as their requirements differ. Position shoots or pointed ends upwards. If the correct direction is unclear, plant them on their sides.
Follow the recommended spacing for each variety. Planting in clusters or informal drifts creates a natural display, but avoid placing them directly against one another.
Water after planting if the soil is dry. Keep containers lightly moist but never waterlogged. After flowering, allow foliage to yellow naturally before removing it.
