Should I completely bury narcissus bulbs?

I've planted a pot of indoor narcissus, but I'm not sure if I should leave the tips poking out of the soil in the pot or cover them completely. What should I do?

Should I completely bury narcissus bulbs?
cover them completely.
Reply:If you mean you have planted them to force them indoors adn they are not going to be outdoors then you would leave the tips just above the soil level.


If you are planting them outside in the ground they should be about 6-8 inches deep.
Reply:I believe the rule is to plant them twice the depth of their size. so about 4 inches is fine. Don't worry about how much of the top you cover. It's the root depth that counts. The green shoots will grow their way to the surface for light.
