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.
'Iwona'
daffodil
A delightful little character, Narcissus 'Iwona' will bring sweetness and charm to your spring displays. This miniature daffodil seems to burst with enthusiasm, with its energetically swept back white outer petals and its peachy/salmon inner cups with their frilly edges. Narcissus 'Iwona' has a little trick up its sleeve too! When it first emerges, its cup is a sunset yellow shade, which then matures to warm peach tones. You can make the most of this cheeky party trick by growing a group of these daffodils together for a lovely colourful display, in warm shades that are just the tonic after a grey winter.
Flowering in mid spring, the dainty form of Narcissus 'Iwona' makes it perfect for massing at the very front of borders, in window boxes or in groups of pots. It will be equally at home in a rockery. These easy-going 'Iwona' daffodils will be happy in sun or partial shade, in a relatively free-draining soil or potting mix, and should return to delight you every spring. This relatively new introduction from Holland is proving popular for its charm and originality, and is perfect if you’re seeking something a little bit different.

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.
