Daffodil window box display

Daffodils grow extremely well in pots and ‘Ice Wings’ is a fantastic variety, bearing multi-headed stems of beautiful white, scented flowers.

The bulbs are perfect for planting on their own or with other spring-flowering plants.

Here, we’ve planted ‘Ice Wings’ bulbs in a rustic window box to dramatic effect.

To enjoy this display fully, pop it near an entrance or window you are likely to open in spring, so you can take in the heady scent of the flowers.

You Will Need

• Narcissus 'Ice Wings' bulbs
• Window box
• Crocks
• Multi-purpose, peat-free compost

Step 1

Fill the window box one third full with multi-purpose compost.

Step 2

Plant the bulbs on the surface of the compost, spacing them around 5cm apart. Make sure you plant them in the right direction, with the fatter end of the bulb facing down, and the wispy tip of the bulb facing upwards.

Step 3

Cover with more multi-purpose compost and water thoroughly, allowing to drain before popping the window box in its final position.
