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.
'Segovia'
daffodil
Create a super-cute container display with Narcissus 'Segovia'—this small-cupped daffodil has a sweet little face and sweet fragrance to match! It’s dainty in size which makes it the perfect narcissus for growing in pots which you can display on the patio, an outdoor table or wherever it can attract the attention it deserves. The snowy white petals of the 'Segovia' daffodils have rounded petals and an adorable flat lemon-yellow cup. It’s simply gorgeous!
Narcissus 'Segovia' is not just a great daffodil for pots, but it’s also useful for the little nooks of the garden, such as small gaps in borders, rockeries or gravel areas. As with most Narcissi, it’s incredibly undemanding—it’s happy in most soils and a full sun or part-shade aspect. This daffodil is reliably perennial, which means it will grow back every year. Another big plus is that it will also naturalise, so you will enjoy seeing more and more of them over time as they gradually multiply.

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.
