Best Narcissus Plant Bulbs of 2026

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. When should narcissus bulbs be planted?

Daffodil bulbs should be planted in the fall. Plant when the soil is cool, but not frozen, so that you can still work the soil. This is usually between September and November, depending on where you live.

2. Can I plant narcissus bulbs now?

Q How late can I plant daffodils? A The best results for early flowering Narcissus 'Tête-à-tête' came from planting in early October, producing plants that spent four weeks in full flower in March. But we still got good results with bulbs planted as late as December, although the time spent in full flower was halved.

3. Do narcissus bulbs come back?

When they've finished flowering, leave them in their pots for the following year, or dry them off, leaving the leaves to shrivel on the bulb, and re-pot them again late next year. I've had the same Paperwhite bulbs flowering every winter for the past 3 years.

4. What do you do with narcissus bulbs after they bloom?

Consider planting the spent narcissus bulbs outdoors. For best results, plant the spent bulbs outside after the foliage dies back and replant your container with fresh bulbs and fresh compost for the following flowering season.
