Perfect for Pots Cottage Collection 

Botanical Names: Muscari armeniacum, Narcissus pseudonarcissus and Hyacinthus orientalis

Position: Full sun to part shade. A bright, sheltered position will encourage strong growth and flowering.

Climate: Suitable for cool, temperate and Mediterranean climates. Frost tolerant. In mild winter regions, hyacinths and grape hyacinths may benefit from a chilling period before planting.

Planting Time: Autumn to early winter.

Watering: Water thoroughly after planting and keep potting mix evenly moist while plants are actively growing and flowering. Ensure containers drain freely and avoid waterlogging. Reduce watering once foliage begins to die back.

Flowering Time: Late winter to spring.

Fertilising: Apply a balanced fertiliser, bulb food or blood and bone at planting time. A light application after flowering will help replenish bulbs for the following season.

Soil: Use a premium, free-draining potting mix. Containers must have adequate drainage holes to prevent bulb rot.

Pests: Protect emerging shoots and flower buds from snails and slugs.

Growing Tips: Plant bulbs close together for maximum impact, but avoid bulbs touching each other. After flowering, allow foliage to die back naturally before removing it, as this helps bulbs store energy for future blooms. Pots can be moved to a prominent position while flowering to create a colourful spring display.
