Product description
At first glance, Polar Ice looks like a wonderfully crisp white Daffodil, but look a little closer and you'll notice the detail in the flowers. Each bloom has a tiny, ruffled cup that starts out pale yellow before fading to white, with a touch of green left at the centre. The slightly incurved petals give the flowers a neat, almost rounded appearance, while the grey-green foliage keeps the overall plant looking fresh and tidy. Flowering in spring, the blooms are also good for cutting, so a few can be brought indoors without losing the main garden display.
This charming variety has a neat, upright character that suits both traditional borders and containers, particularly when several bulbs are planted together so the flowers have a chance to grow into an eye-catching display. It is a dependable Daffodil that returns each spring, with the foliage gradually dying back after flowering before the bulbs settle into their summer rest. With full sun or partial shade and fertile, moist but well-drained soil, Polar Ice has everything it needs to become a familiar part of the garden and return with its crisp white flowers each 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.
