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.
'Waylon'
daffodil
Narcissus 'Waylon' may sound like it’s just stepped off a country music stage, but this exclusive double daffodil is far more garden diva than guitar hero. Its blooms unfold in rich, coppery shades of orange, layered like molten silk. As the petals open fully, fiery orange tones emerge within the petaloid segments, giving the flower a surprisingly sultry twist. There's a bit of theatre to Narcissus 'Waylon'—not loud or brash, but the sort that draws you in with a knowing wink and a flourish of flair. Think double tulip, but in daffodil form and with a bit more swagger.
Plant Narcissus 'Waylon' somewhere it won’t be upstaged—perhaps in a sunny border or spring container where its warm tones can glow. It performs beautifully in early to mid-spring, offering texture and depth to the seasonal palette. The blooms carry themselves with confidence, each one a masterclass in tonal layering and soft drama. Narcissus 'Waylon' may not sing, but it certainly knows how to make a lasting impression. With six mentions of its name and a colour story worthy of an oil painting, Narcissus 'Waylon' brings a touch of rustic elegance to the spring stage—no cowboy hat required.

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.
