Through the years I've tried just about everyone for bulbs but A.D.R. is tops. It's a family run business and the service levels and expertise are as good as the product they sell. My clients rave about the results we get with A.D.R. and that makes me happy.

Narcissus 'Martinette' is a Tazetta daffodil, reaching 14 to 16 inches in height. Each stem produces clusters of 4 to 6 bright yellow flowers with ribbed orange cups, blooming in early to mid-spring. The blooms are highly fragrant, making them excellent for cut arrangements. Thriving in full sun to part shade, 'Martinette' prefers well-drained soil and is deer-resistant.
Planting: Plant bulbs in fall, 6 inches deep and 4 to 6 inches apart, with the pointed end up. These daffodils produce multiple blooms per stem, so groupings of 5–10 bulbs create a fuller effect.
Location: Full sun to partial shade. Ideal for borders, naturalized drifts, and under deciduous trees.
Soil: Well-drained, moderately fertile soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0–7.0). Enrich with compost or leaf mold.
Watering: Water after planting and during active growth in spring. Once foliage yellows, reduce watering—bulbs prefer dry summer dormancy.
Temperature: Hardy in USDA zones 3–9. Requires a cold period to bloom reliably.
Fertilization: Apply compost or a low-nitrogen fertilizer in fall and again in early spring.
Pruning: Allow foliage to die back naturally to feed the bulb. Remove spent flower stalks for tidiness.
Propagation: Naturalizes by offsets. Divide clumps every 4 to 5 years in summer when dormant.
Pest & Disease: Deer- and rodent-resistant. Good drainage prevents bulb rot.
