Hi Jonathan that hasn't been my experiences. When did you plant them?

Hi Moongrower, I planted Thalia and Midget last autumn. Neither have performed significantly. Whereas my Ice Follies and Jenny have been superb. I am just wondering whether they need to be given more time in situ. Perhaps it depends on the variety. Not sure whether to keep or throw away the unperformers.
(I've just picked up your kind message from a couple of weeks ago. I'll send you a private message).

If you bought and planted the narcissus bulbs last autumn, Jonathan, they should have flowered perfectlt in their first year. It sounds as if they might be duff bulbs.

Perhaps you are right Bulbaholic. They all came from JParker and looked fine at planting time. Perhaps I should have rid of those ones.
