Daffodil & Tulip Planting Combo

Botanical Name: Tulipa hybrida + Narcissus pseudonarcissus

Position: Daffodils prefer full sun, while Tulips grow best in full sun to part shade. Protect both from strong winds.

Climate: Suitable for most climates. Tulips require winter chilling in warmer regions; Daffodils do not.

Planting Time: Autumn to winter.

Watering: Water thoroughly after planting, then wait until foliage appears before watering again. Keep bulbs moist during dry periods while growing. Do not water during dormancy.

Flowering Time: Spring.

Fertilising: Incorporate a complete organic fertiliser before planting. Apply liquid fertiliser when buds appear and again after flowering.

Soil: Well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Daffodils tolerate a range of soil pH levels.

Pests: Protect against snails with snail bait. Control aphids with an appropriate insecticide.

Growing Tips: For cut flowers, harvest blooms when they are just beginning to open. Cut early in the morning and change vase water regularly. Tulip bulbs should be lifted after the foliage turns yellow, dried out of direct sunlight and stored in a cool, dry, airy place before replanting.
