Jonquils are daffodils that produce small, fragrant flowers in a cluster. They are delightful in a garden and fairly easy to grow. Here is what to do.
Purchase jonquil bulbs from a reputable bulb supplier.
Plant the bulbs in autumn.
Prepare the soil. The soil should be loamy, and deep.
Leave the rainfall to water during winter provided it's regular. If not, give occasional hand watering.
Water regularly once the flowers appear. Also fertilise.
When the leaves turn yellow after flowering, stop watering. Too much water during summer can cause the bulbs to rot.
Clear away dead debris before the end of autumn so that the next generation of jonquils can start to grow again.
