How to plant Narcissus Tazetta bulbs
Planting Narcissus Tazetta bulbs is a straightforward process that will reward you with fragrant and beautiful blooms each spring. Follow these steps to ensure your Narcissus Tazetta bulbs thrive and bring their delightful scent to your garden.
- Select the right location:Narcissus Tazetta thrives in well-drained soil and can be planted in sunny or partially shaded spots. They are versatile and can be planted in garden beds, borders, or containers, making them a great choice for various garden settings.
- Prepare the soil:Dig to a depth of about 30cm, loosening the soil to improve drainage and aeration. Incorporate some compost or well-rotted manure to enrich the soil, providing essential nutrients that will support healthy growth.
- Plant the bulbs:Place each bulb about 15cm deep, with the pointed end facing upwards. Space them 10cm apart to allow room for the clusters of blooms to develop. For a fuller display, consider planting the bulbs in groups or drifts.
- Water thoroughly:After planting, water the area well to help the bulbs settle into the soil. Narcissus Tazetta bulbs are relatively drought-tolerant once established, but they will benefit from occasional watering during dry spells, especially during the early growth stages.
- Apply a layer of mulch:Adding a light layer of mulch helps retain moisture, regulate soil temperature, and protect the bulbs from harsh winter conditions. This extra protection ensures your daffodils have the best possible start.
- Monitor and maintain:Narcissus Tazetta is low-maintenance, but it's important to allow the foliage to die back naturally after flowering. This process enables the bulbs to store energy for the following year’s blooms. Avoid cutting the leaves too early, as this can weaken the bulbs and reduce flowering in subsequent seasons.
By following these steps, you'll create the perfect conditions for your Narcissus Tazetta bulbs to flourish. Enjoy the rich fragrance and elegant display they bring to your garden each spring, adding a sensory delight to your outdoor space.

FAQs
What makes Narcissus Tazetta different from other daffodil varieties?
Narcissus Tazetta stands out for its sweet, intoxicating fragrance and multi-headed stems, which produce clusters of smaller blooms. Unlike some daffodil varieties that feature a single large flower per stem, Narcissus Tazetta offers a more abundant display, making it a favourite for adding both scent and beauty to gardens, containers, and indoor arrangements.
How do I care for Narcissus Tazetta bulbs in containers?
When planting Narcissus Tazetta in containers, choose a pot with good drainage and fill it with a high-quality potting mix. Plant the bulbs at a depth of 4 to 6 inches and space them closely for a lush display. Place the container in a sunny or partially shaded spot and water regularly, ensuring the soil remains moist but not waterlogged. After blooming, allow the foliage to die back naturally, and consider moving the container to a sheltered location during winter.
Can Narcissus Tazetta be forced to bloom indoors?
Yes, Narcissus Tazetta can be forced to bloom indoors, making them a popular choice for winter and early spring displays. To force the bulbs, plant them in pots and keep them in a cool, dark place (around 10°C) for 12-16 weeks. Once roots have developed and shoots begin to emerge, move the pots to a warmer, brighter location to encourage blooming. Enjoy the fragrant flowers indoors during the colder months.
Are Narcissus Tazetta bulbs deer and rabbit-resistant?
Narcissus Tazetta bulbs, like most daffodils, are generally deer and rabbit-resistant. The bulbs and foliage contain toxic compounds that deter these animals, making them a great choice for gardens in areas where wildlife browsing is a concern. However, it’s always a good idea to monitor your garden, especially when the bulbs are first emerging.
How can I extend the blooming period of Narcissus Tazetta in my garden?
To extend the blooming period of Narcissus Tazetta, consider planting them in different areas of your garden that receive varying amounts of sunlight. You can also combine early, mid-, and late-season blooming varieties to ensure a continuous display. Additionally, providing consistent moisture and avoiding excessive fertilisation can help prolong the blooming period, allowing you to enjoy their fragrance and beauty for longer.
