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.
No spring garden is complete without a clump of cheery Daffodils to give that uplifting, spring is here feeling. Narcissus 'Fragrant Spring' promises to delight the senses with a sweet perfume and fully double blooms. Each perfumed flower is framed by layers of pale primrose petals. A swirling clementine corona forms undulating ruffles, crimped and fluted like dainty Easter bonnets.
This mid-season daffodil variety appears in April forming a clump of slender foliage graced with flower stems of up to 40cm. Narcissus 'Fragrant Spring' is a hybrid of the ever-popular cultivar 'Acropolis' and shares many features making it the perfect planting partner for its distinguished parent.
Daffodils are long-lived bulbs which naturalise with ease. Being incredibly versatile, they’ll tolerate most soils and grow happily in any sunny or lightly shaded spot. Narcissus 'Fragrant Spring' shows excellent resistance to deer and rabbits but prove irresistible as a cut flower, so be sure to grow a few spares for a vase indoors.

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.
