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.
'Bea Wolf'
daffodil
Narcissus 'Bea Wolf' isn’t one to shy away from the spotlight. With bold yellow petals and an even bolder cup—huge, frilled, and just a touch darker than the surrounding halo—it’s the kind of daffodil that marches confidently into spring with its head held high. The coarsely ruffled cup looks as if it’s been caught mid-roar, giving Narcissus 'Bea Wolf' a wild charm that’s a world away from the more demure varieties. It’s bright, it’s brave, and it makes absolutely no apologies for either.
This large-cupped daffodil is perfect for those who like their gardens to be a little on the dramatic side without tipping into chaos. Plant Narcissus 'Bea Wolf' in generous drifts or dot it among more restrained companions to give them a jolt of golden energy. The blooms are sturdy, dependable, and just eccentric enough to keep things interesting. Whether you're designing a spring border or freshening up a container display, Narcissus 'Bea Wolf' brings six loud-and-proud helpings of floral gusto—ruffles, richness, and all.

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.
