Product Description
Narcissus Jetfire is a fantastic variety of daffodil, and it is certainly obvious where its name comes from! Bright yellow petals burst from a fiery-orange central trumpet, creating a wonderful contrast against the deep green stems.
A real British favourite, Daffodils blowing in the breeze are a true sign that spring is approaching! With their distinctive flowers and sweet scent, they are a must-have for any garden and have been for hundreds of years. Plant them in pots, containers or straight in the ground this autumn for a fantastic display next spring and for years to come!
They also make a fabulous cut flower – not least for their wonderfully strong fragrance – so be sure to plant enough to fill your vases several times over.
Plant them in groups of 6-10 for maximum impact, in full sun or semi-shade, either on their own or with other spring-flowering bulbs of different colours for an eye-catching display.
Supplied as a pack of 25 bulbs, size 8/10 ready for planting in the autumn.

Plant Information
Top Tips
- For a natural look, throw a handful onto a grassy area and plant them where they fall.
- Which way up? Usually pointy end up, but if you are not sure, plant the bulb on its side and it will right itself.
- Add mycorrhizal fungi to the roots before planting to encourage faster and more reliable establishment.
- Propagate by removing offsets in the early summer to populate new areas.
Care Guide
- Plant 10-15cm deep and 10cm apart in sun or partial shade, in well-drained, fertile soil.
- Spring-flowering bulbs should be planted in the autumn for displays next season. This allows them to establish a good root system before the weather becomes too cold.
- Please check the bag for any additional planting instructions.
- Use a good-quality potting compost such as our premium professional compost for the best results.
- The bulbs are fine to plant even if a little green growth is showing; they will just need a good watering when you plant them, and thereafter only when the soil is dry.
- Plant in herbaceous borders, in pots, or in the ground to naturalise.
Aftercare advice for your Narcissus bulbs:
- Water frequently and if in pots, ensure that the compost doesn't dry out.
- While all the energy that a bulb needs in order to grow is stored in the bulb itself, they will do better if you feed them when in active green growth.
- Leave foliage to die back naturally after flowering; never tie up the foliage or cut it back while still green. This allows as much energy as possible to go back into the bulbs for the following year.
- Leave them in the ground once they die back and they will come back with bigger and better displays each year.
