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.
'Spinner'
daffodil
Narcissus 'Spinner' is a study in contrast, pairing bright yellow petals with a vivid, neatly ruffled orange cup that seems to glow from within. The perianth segments are smooth and well-proportioned, radiating outward with quiet confidence, while the corona draws the eye with its rich orange colouring and finely frilled edge. There is something delightfully crisp about Narcissus 'Spinner', a clarity of colour and form that feels both classic and refreshingly modern. Each bloom stands poised and open, catching the spring light in a way that enlivens borders and containers alike, making Narcissus 'Spinner' a natural focal point without ever overwhelming its companions.
Blooming in mid-spring, Narcissus 'Spinner' settles beautifully into mixed plantings, where its warm tones complement blues, purples and soft whites with effortless ease. It is equally at home beneath deciduous shrubs or weaving through low-growing perennials, returning reliably year after year with minimal fuss. The strong stems and balanced proportions of Narcissus 'Spinner' ensure it performs admirably in both garden settings and cut arrangements, bringing that unmistakable freshness indoors. With its lively colouring and composed habit, Narcissus 'Spinner' offers a refined yet cheerful presence—exactly the sort of detail that makes a spring garden feel thoughtfully composed.

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.
