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.
'Garden Pleasure'
daffodil
Narcissus 'Garden Pleasure' sounds like a leisurely afternoon in early spring—and fittingly, it delivers just that. With blooms so plush and full they could be mistaken for peonies in disguise, Narcissus 'Garden Pleasure' is not your average daffodil. This exclusive double variety is all about soft opulence: its fully double flowers unfold in creamy layers of buttery yellow, ruffled just enough to catch the light and the attention of passing admirers. It’s the kind of bloom that seems to have all the time in the world—and invites you to slow down and enjoy the moment, too.
Plant Narcissus 'Garden Pleasure' where it can bask in the spotlight—front of borders, near seating areas, or dotted about in pots by the door. Its gentle yellow hues make it a perfect companion to spring pastels, while its full-bodied form adds a touch of structure and drama. Flowering in early to mid-spring, Narcissus 'Garden Pleasure' doesn’t shout for attention, but somehow gets it anyway—like a well-dressed guest at a garden party. With six appearances in name and plenty of charm in bloom, Narcissus 'Garden Pleasure' brings an easy elegance to your spring display that’s both unassuming and utterly delightful.

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.
