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.
'Sun Catchers'
daffodil
Few spring performers capture the light quite so joyfully as Narcissus 'Sun Catchers'. With generously sized, fully double blooms reaching up to 10cm, Narcissus 'Sun Catchers' unfurls in sumptuous layers of sunny yellow petals, intricately interwoven with ruffled centres of orange and soft apricot. There is an almost celebratory quality to these blooms, each one facing upward as though purposefully gathering the day’s brightness. Planted in sweeping drifts or clustered in thoughtful pockets, Narcissus 'Sun Catchers' creates a luminous display that gently animates the garden, pairing beautifully with cool blues, fresh greens, and other spring favourites.
Beyond its striking appearance, Narcissus 'Sun Catchers' brings a sense of warmth that feels both uplifting and reassuring after winter’s retreat. The densely layered flowers hold their form well, offering a long-lasting show both in the garden and as cut blooms indoors. As the light shifts throughout the day, Narcissus 'Sun Catchers' seems to glow from within, its apricot and orange tones subtly deepening in softer light. Reliable and quietly exuberant, Narcissus 'Sun Catchers' is an inspired choice for gardeners who favour richness, texture, and a touch of springtime radiance.

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.
