Product description
Large white flowers give Narcissus Falmouth Bay a crisp, fresh presence when it comes into bloom in spring, with each flower showing off a small cup touched with green at the base. The blooms sit neatly above slender, grey-green foliage, and the upright stems keep them clearly visible rather than letting the flowers disappear into the planting. It has a simple, unfussy appearance that works particularly well when planted in groups, whether that means a sweep through a border or a few bulbs gathered together in a container. The flowers also hold well on their stems, making them useful for cutting when there are enough blooms to spare.
Once planted, these bulbs are happy to get on with things, returning each year and gradually becoming a familiar part of the garden. They suit borders, pots, and containers, so there are plenty of ways to find a place for them, while full sun or partial shade and fertile, well-drained soil will keep them growing happily. After flowering, the foliage can be left to die back naturally, allowing the bulbs to recharge ready for another display the following spring.
These bulbs are supplied at a size of 12-14.

Instructions
Top Tip
For a more natural-looking display, scatter a handful of Narcissus bulbs loosely over the planting area and plant them where they land, rather than arranging them in a regular pattern. The resulting clusters and gaps give the flowers a more relaxed, established look when they come into bloom.
How to Water
Keep the soil lightly moist after planting, particularly during dry spells in autumn and while the bulbs are establishing roots. Once growth appears in spring, water Narcissus when the soil starts to dry out, but avoid leaving the bulbs sitting in consistently wet soil.
How to Plant
Plant Daffodil bulbs in autumn, choosing a sunny or lightly shaded spot with fertile, well-drained soil. Set each bulb with the pointed end facing upwards at a depth of around 3 times its height, spacing them at least twice their width apart so they have room to develop.
