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.
Think big, bold and ruffly—magnificent Narcissus 'Ferris Wheel' has it all! It’s hard to find a daffodil more flamboyant than this, the outrageously frilly orange corona is enormous and the big yellow petals frame it perfectly. This variety not only has mind-blowingly huge and spectacular flowers and a good scent, but it’s tall and strong too. Groups of these make a big impact in the garden from a distance, and they’re every bit as intriguing close up too!
Flowering in April, Narcissus 'Ferris Wheel' blooms very happily alongside tulips as well as other mid-late season daffodils. They’re a bit of a statement piece, so make sure you put them somewhere prominent because they love to show off! With long, strong stems and big blooms, you can pick a chunky bunch of these to display in a vase indoors where they will splash a whole lot of sunny yellow colour, as well as a sweet fragrance into your home.

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.
