Indoor Flowering Narcissi Erlicheer
N0723
Description
Perhaps the most highly scented of all Narcissus, ‘Erlicheer’ bears a mass of frilly, double florets in shades of ivory and primrose yellow.
A fabulous, multi-headed daffodil for forcing and bringing perfume and flounce into the home during winter, the bulbs of ‘Erlicheer’ are best planted shallow in pots or bowls, before storing in a cold, dark space for 12 weeks prior to flowering.
Each bulb will produce 2-3 stems of up to 10 ruffled flowers on each.
After you have enjoyed a bountiful indoor display, the bulbs may be planted in the garden during October and flower the following spring.
Care Guide
Once planted the pots need to be put in a cool, dark place, keeping the soil moist. Forcing will take between 12 and 16 weeks or when the shoots are 2’’ to 3’’ high. At this stage the pots should be brought out of cold storage into a cool unheated room. Turn the pots daily in order to keep the stems straight and strong. When the foliage and buds are well developed move the pots to a bright sunny position. This 2nd stage takes between 3 to 4 weeks
