Bloom or Bust Guarantee

Thalia can carry several graceful white flowers on each stem, giving a soft, almost orchid-like spring display.

Narcissus 'Thalia' is an elegant white triandrus daffodil, loved for its graceful nodding flowers and soft fragrance. Each stem can carry several milk-white blooms, giving pots, borders and naturalised drifts a refined spring finish.

Plant the bulbs in autumn in well-drained soil, in full sun or light partial shade. Thalia is fully hardy, deer and rodent resistant, and especially useful for calm white spring planting schemes, containers, woodland edges and cutting.

Where to Plant:

Narcissus 'Thalia' performs best in full sun or light partial shade, in fertile soil that drains well. It is particularly good in pots, front-of-border groups, woodland edges and naturalised drifts where its white flowers can brighten spring planting.

How to Plant:

Plant bulbs from September to December, around two to three times their own depth, spacing them roughly 10-15cm apart. Set each bulb pointed end up, firm the soil gently and water well after planting.

Aftercare:

Water containers during dry spells and allow the foliage to die back naturally after flowering so the bulbs can recharge. Lift crowded clumps after several years or divide once the leaves have yellowed.

The bulbs arrived beautifully packaged and you could just tell they were excellent quality. We had the most wonderful display of daffodils this spring on our patio. Simply stunning. Will definitely be ordering again

I ordered the mixed hyacinth collection and the scent in my garden this April was absolutely heavenly. Every single bulb produced a strong, beautiful flower and the colours were stunning together. A fantastic purchase, I'll be back for more next year!
