One of my favourite indoor narcissi, Avalanche is wonderfully generous, throwing up several flowering stems from each bulb, each topped with clusters of creamy white blooms and soft primrose cups. The scent is exquisite sweet, fresh and gently citrusy filling a room just when you need it most in late winter.

Exceptionally easy to force, these bulbs flower reliably on a windowsill, table or mantelpiece, needing little more than light and water. Elegant yet informal, they make a longlasting display and are perfect for bringing the optimism of spring indoors weeks ahead of the garden.

Narcissi are easy and wonderful for forcing indoors to add winter cheer and scent. These bulbs have been specially prepared, they have been pre-chilled to force them into flowering early. They can be potted up indoors as soon as they arrive or kept somewhere cool and dark until you want to plant them. They will flower 5-6 weeks after planting and perfect for a winter hallway. To support the leaves and flowers as they grow make a nest of twigs on top of the planted bulbs.
