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.
'Yellow Parrot'
daffodil
Narcissus 'Yellow Parrot' is not one to sit quietly on the perch. This cheeky little character is a multiflowering marvel, offering up to four blooms per stem—each one a vivid splash of sunshine in a rather flamboyant split-corona style. As dwarf daffodils go, this one’s full of personality, with its lively yellow petals and extravagant, frilly trumpet that looks as though it’s ruffled its feathers just for the occasion. Compact in stature but bold in impact, Narcissus 'Yellow Parrot' has an undeniable stage presence.
Perfect for pots, rockeries, or tucked into the front of spring borders, Narcissus 'Yellow Parrot' brings a playful burst of brightness wherever it lands. Its short height makes it ideal for windier spots, while its strong stems keep those multiple flowers standing proud. Plant Narcissus 'Yellow Parrot' in generous drifts for a dazzling carpet of colour or mingle it with other spring beauties for contrast and charm. Either way, this is one garden performer that won’t be overshadowed. With Narcissus 'Yellow Parrot', spring takes flight in the most brilliant, golden way—no squawking 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.
