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.
Rockery narcissus varieties come in so many colours, shapes and sizes, that it’s difficult to decide which ones to choose. Besides, you like surprises! Waiting for blooms to open so that you can see which delightful colour you’ll be given next is part of the fun for you. You also like the idea of ‘plant and go’ daffodils that look after themselves and keep coming back every year. Avoid those difficult choices and choose a full mixture that’s just as full of pleasant surprises. You’ll get a combination consisting of all of the very best naturalizing daffodils all in one go!
We always use the best quality rockgarden narcissus bulbs for this collection which means that the varieties we choose to create this look may differ from year to year. The varieties used in this collection may not be the same as the narcissus varieties pictured, and there will be a slight variation in colours.

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.
