Planting Instructions

When to Plant:

September to November

Where to Plant:
Choose a sunny or partially shaded spot with free-draining soil. Ideal for borders, naturalising in grass, or containers.

How to Plant:

• Depth: 10–15cm (4–6 inches) deep
• Spacing: 10cm (4 inches) apart
• Postion: Place bulbs pointed end up

Aftercare:
Allow foliage to die back naturally after flowering to feed the bulb for next year’s growth. Avoid cutting back green leaves.

TIP: For the best visual impact, plant in groups of at least 5–10 bulbs. Narcissus ‘Hillstar’ is excellent for combining with other spring-flowering bulbs and provides a delightful fragrance—especially near paths or doorways.
