Plant daffodil bulbs from September to November. If needed, store them somewhere cool and dry, away from mice, but plant before they begin to deteriorate.
'Art Perfume'
daffodil
One of the most beautiful Narcissus we’ve seen, Narcissus 'Art Perfume' opens up like a bowl of prettiness for your viewing pleasure. With a flat face that displays all of the treasures within, you can fully appreciate the rounded, primrose yellow petals that border a tightly ruffled, orange double corona. As well as those lively good looks, Narcissus 'Art Perfume' has a captivating perfume—hence the name—which will surely put it at the top of your spring flowers wishlist.
Cheerful double daffodils are always a reliable performer in the spring garden, being tolerant of most soil types—so long as they have good drainage. They’re also highly resistant to being disturbed by various furry visitors to the garden, so overall this easy-to-grow option offers maximum impact for minimum input. Narcissus 'Art Perfume' sounds like a real winner to us!

Plant profile
Plant calendar
Choose full sun or partial shade. Improve heavy soil with organic matter and horticultural grit. For containers, use peat-free multipurpose compost with good drainage.
Plant bulbs pointed side upwards, two to three times their own height deep and around 10cm apart. Smaller bulbs can be planted slightly closer together.
Water after planting if the soil is dry. Established bulbs in borders rarely need more, but water during dry spring weather and keep containers lightly moist.
Remove faded flowers, but leave the stems and foliage until they turn yellow and die back naturally. The bulbs can remain planted throughout the year.
