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.
Pretty girls in golden petticoats romp through your garden in springtime when you plant Narcissus bulbocodium var. conspicuus 'Golden Bells'. One look at the images will show you just how apt our metaphor is. After winter’s dullness and chill, a touch of sunshine yellow is a welcome sight, and since these Daffodils are happy to make themselves at home in gardens, they’ll pop up every spring for yet another celebration of the season.
Create a natural-looking woodland garden; dot them about in lawns for a meadow effect, or plant them in formal flower beds for a whimsical touch. Whatever you do, be sure of getting Yellow Hoop Petticoat narcissi to plant in your garden this autumn.
Narcissus 'Golden Bells' is known to be an excellent naturalizer and will not let you down each spring. This low growing narcissus variety lends itself perfectly for woody areas and will create an amazing naturalizing effect in the early spring. Plant Yellow Hoop Petticoat daffodils in larger quantities to create a breathtaking carpet of golden yellow flowers.

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.
