Plant daffodil bulbs from September to November. If needed, store them somewhere cool and dry, away from mice, but plant before they begin to deteriorate.
Imagine this: its late spring. You’ve stepped out into your garden and the first thing you notice is a constellation of pure-white Narcissi triandrus 'Thalia'. It’s an unforgettable sight, and the smartest landscapers know that massing them to create great pools of starry blooms creates the most striking effect imaginable. Emulate them by planting your Narcissi triandrus 'Thalia' plants in generous groupings or swathes. It’s like being a painter working with colours that aren’t yet visible.
When spring comes around, the results of your artistry appear. Amazing! Bring posies of cut daffodils into your house so that you can admire them day and night. They’ll last for a week or more in the vase. And guess what? It’s no ephemeral show, next year, you’ll see the encore performance.
Narcissus triandrus 'Thalia' combines perfectly with the blue grape flowers of Muscari armeniacum!

Plant profile
Plant calendar
Choose full sun or partial shade. Improve heavy soil with organic matter and horticultural grit. For containers, use peat-free multipurpose compost with good drainage.
Plant bulbs pointed side upwards, two to three times their own height deep and around 10cm apart. Smaller bulbs can be planted slightly closer together.
Water after planting if the soil is dry. Established bulbs in borders rarely need more, but water during dry spring weather and keep containers lightly moist.
Remove faded flowers, but leave the stems and foliage until they turn yellow and die back naturally. The bulbs can remain planted throughout the year.
