Narcissus Thalia (5)

Narcissus Thalia was raised in 1916. A national treasure, refined and elegant and a perfect foil for all those March yellows with a greeny-white, multi-headed, scented flower. A well-known classy favourite now not readily available.

Planting Instructions

Narcissus Thalia bulbs should be planted in cool rich soil in sun or part shade quite deeply with 5-6" (12-15cm) of soil over the bulb, where it will remain more cool, more moist and safer from activity above them in the summer. Do not be tempted to cut back or tidy the foliage after flowering as this period of replenishment of the bulb''s starchy food reserves is critical to future flowering. A liquid feed while starchy leaves are still green will benefit clumps in poorer soil. I would suggest you plant them in distinct groups and not randomly as the effect is generally better. They should clump up from being planted about 4" (10cm) apart, further apart for more ''relaxed'' planting.
