The 300-plus pages of text include a wide variety of articles such as “In Praise of Old Daffodils,” “Daffodils in Texas,” “Naturalizing Narcissi,” and – our personal favorite – “A Daffodil Parade in Michigan.” Even better, the full 325 pages are completely searchable.

Would you like to give plants which have symbolic meanings? from Gold Mountain Herb Farm, which no longer runs a nursery.

Daffodils "can live for up to seven years and the bulbs keep reproducing, especially if you refresh clumps of daffodils with new bulbs, ideally of the same variety.
And it is probably best to plant them from September to November. They like most soils and are happiest half in the shade, half in the sun.
They don’t mind baking but they don’t like being waterlogged." from Joseph Atkin - head gardener of Aberglasney, in Carmarthenshire, Wales.

Narcissus is very versatile in its planting position. It can be grown amongst shrubs in a border, in meadows, woodland, lawns and containers. Some of the smaller species are suitable for the rock garden, although some, like Narcissus cantabricus, Narcissus romieuxii and Narcissus rupicola will need extra protection in an alpine house.

The only other well known event in Saint Narcissus' life took place when, on an unknown date, he was accused by three men of an unnamed, yet horrible, sin. The way these men sought to bring down the holy bishop leads one to wonder if demonic possession was at work. Each man asked that he might, respectively, be killed by fire, devoured by leprosy, and struck blind if what he said was proved false.

Narcissus kept his composure throughout this ordeal and simply looked at it as an opportunity to live the life of a hermit. After forgiving his accusers, he disappeared into the desert. Later on, one of the men, along with his entire family, died during a house fire. The second contracted leprosy and the third cried from fear and contrition to the extent that he lost his sight

A multi-headed trumpet daffodil that emerges from its bud a greeny-white and opens to reveal a delightful, pure white flower that looks really good planted in big swathes. This is quite an old variety that was a firm favourite of the Victorians. Excellent cut flowers. Goes well with Buxus sempervirens and Exochorda x macrantha 'The Bride'.

Narcissus - Division 6: Cyclamineus Daffodil Cultivars

'Beryl' 6Y-YYO
 

Yellow/Yellow
eye-zone and mid-zone, Orange rim

March, April
 

8 x 3-6
(20 x 7.5-15)

Vigorous spring flowering bulb. Reflexed yellow perianth segments which quickly fade to creamy white small yellow-orange cups.

'February Gold'
6Y-Y
 

Yellow/Golden-Yellow

February, March
 

12 x 4
(30 x 10)

They also do really well in pots and windowboxes.

'Garden Princess' 6Y-Y
 

Yellow/Yellow

March, April
 

18 x 4
(45 x 10)

Sturdy growing with clear soft yellow flowers, reflexing perianth segments and tapering trumpets with frilled mouths.

'Jack Snipe'
6W-Y
 

White/Lemon-Yellow

March, April
 

10 x 4
(25 x 10)

Unlike other narcissi, this prefers slightly acid, moist soil, with plenty of compost or leaf-mould. It seeds very freely and, if the bulbs are to be encouraged to spread rapidly, the faded blooms should not be deadheaded.

Jetfire' 6Y-O
 

Yellow/Orange

March, April
 

8 x 4
(20 x 10)

As with most daffodils, Narcissus "Jetfire' is first-rate for forcing and wonderful as a cut flower. In the vase daffodils last four to six days. Preservatives do not prolong the flowers; this step is not necessary. The blossoms secrete a mucous from their stems that is unfavorable to other cut flowers. Daffodils can be used alone in the vase or hardened for 12-24 hours in fresh water by themselves, with at least one water change. Rinse stems before placing with other cut flowers.

'Peeping Tom'
6Y-Y
 

Yellow/Yellow

February, March
 

15 x 4 (37.5 x 10)

Usually the earliest Daffodil to flower and also in bloom for a long period, up to 8 weeks. Strong golden yellow with narrow trumpets. Will naturalise easily.

'Spring Dawn'
6Y-Y
 

Pale Yellow/
Bright Yellow

January, February,
March

8 x 5
(20 x 12.5)

Spring flowering bulb, pale creamy yellow perianth segments and bright yellow trumpets. Early flowering, usually in February and March.

'Surfside'
6W-Y

White/Yellow

March, April

10 x
(25 x )

A good, strong variety suitable for the garden or pots. It has reflexed, milk-white perianth and a pale yellow cup with a wide, flared mouth. With time the cup fades to almost white. The flowers are quite large and solid for such a dwarf variety.

Narcissus - Division 7: Jonquilla and Apodanthus Daffodil Cultivars

'Baby Moon'
7Y-Y Min
 

Citron-Yellow/Yellow

April, May
 

8 x 6
(20 x 15)

It bears petite, scented, bright yellow flowers with Narrow, Dark Green, often reed-like leaves.

'Bell Song' 7W-P
 

Creamy-White/Pink

April, May, June
 

12-15 x 8 (30-37.5 x 20)

Jonquil bulbs are planted 4 inches (10 cms) deep in autumn. Most jonquils like a very sunny location, but also do well in partial shade. However, salmon to pink-trumpet varieties like 'Bell Song' require a bit of protection and would in the main prefer dappled sunlight, or their rare color rapidly fades.
When ours first start blooming in April (2003), the surrounding deciduous shrubbery permitted them sufficient light as they were not yet completely re-leafed. But since small jonquils bloom until June, they were quite deeply shaded by the end of their cycle, so our choice of location was not the best planned

'Golden Dawn'
7Y-O
 

Rich Yellow/Orange

February, March, April
 

20 x 4
(50 x 10)

Spring bulb, clusters of several sweetly scented flowers per stem, rich yellow with light orange cups. Vigorous grower with sturdy stems and good erect foliage, naturalises well.
'Golden Dawn' is a Tazetta daffodil with spreading foliage and up to 5 fragrant flowers per stem, each 4.5 cm in width with light yellow perianth segments and orange corona

'Kokopelli' 7Y-Y
 

Yellow/Golden Yellow

April
 

12 x 6
(30 x 15)

Kokopelli is a jonquilla seedling that is very fragrant and very floriferous. Each bulb produces a bouquet of 3 or more stems, each bearing 3-5, button-eyed, bright yellow flowers. Kokopelli has won many prizes on the daffodil show bench but is even more striking when massed in the garden.

'Pipit' 7Y-Y
 

Lemon Yellow/Yellow

April, May
 

12 x 4
(30 x 10)

Small spring bulb, 2 or 3 sweetly scented, lemon yellow flowers with cups which quickly fade to cream or nearly white. Mid to late spring.
During the fading & changing process they often have a yellow & white streaked stage, while the trumpet, likewise starting out a soft yellow, fades to ivory white on the outside & along the ruffles first, still having a yellow interior for a while.

'Quail' 7Y-Y

Golden Yellow/Yellow

April, May

16 x 4
(35 x 10)

Narcissus ‘Quail’ is a delicate daffodil in appearance but actually is robust in nature and looks most effective planted in a large drift where its stems, which hold two or three small yellow flowers, can be fully admired. At RHS Garden Hyde Hall we use it in large drifts around the Lower Pond where it looks fantastic against winter stem shrubs such as dogwoods and willows. We also use it in smaller groups through the Eastern Courtyard to add a splash of spring colour as visitors arrive.

'Suzy' 7Y-O

Yellow/Red-Orange

April, May

16 x 6
(40 x 15)

Bulbs produce 2 or 3 stems, each bearing 1 or 2 flowers with broad bright yellow perianth segments and flattish red-orange cups. Mid to late spring. Scented

'Sweet Love'
7W-YYW

White perianth with corona of soft Yellow eye-zone, Yellow mid-zone - which fades to White - and White rim

April

18 x 6
(45 x 15)

Inhale the sweet perfume from this pretty white Jonquilla hybrid! Its bowl-shaped, yellow-orange cup is broadly ribbed and finished with a white ruffled edge, a bicolor effect that is both subtle and beguiling. Vigorous and sun-proof, 'Sweet Love' produces several flowers per stem and multiple stems.

'Trevithian'
7Y-Y

Lemon Yellow/ Lemon-Yellow

March

18 x 6
(45 x 15)

Vigorous Jonquilla daffodil producing up to 4 sweetly scented, lemon-yellow flowers about 7cm across, with rounded perianth segments and short flared cups. Very narrow leaves.
Upright habit and excellent cut flowers
A long-lived plant for bedding or naturalizing.

Narcissus - Division 8: Tazetta Daffodil Cultivars

'Falconet' 8Y-O
 

Golden-Yellow/Orange

March, April
 

14 x 6
(35 x 15)

Early to mid spring flowing bulb. 3 to 5 small flowers per stem, bright golden yellow perianth petals and small orange cups. Fragrant, reliable and spreads easily.
Habit of being an overly rapid multiplier, necessitating frequent digging and 
dividing.

'Geranium' 8W-O
 

White/Red-Orange

March, April
 

16 x 6
(40 x 15)

Richly scented flowers appear in clusters of up to six on top of sturdy stems in March and April. The pure white petals contrast brilliantly with the bright orange cup. Plant in groups where they can be left undisturbed and the clumps will get bigger each year. This is also a good variety for pots.

'Minnow' 8Y-Y
 

Creamy-Yellow/
Lemon-Yellow

March, April, May
 

18 x 6
(45 x 15)

Dwarf, robust early to mid spring flowing bulb. 4 or more small flowers per stem. Creamy yellow petals and a lemon cup. Fragrant. Reliable and spreads easily.

It prefers a great deal of sun but will tolerate a bit of shade, & is hardy for zones 5 through 9. On Puget Sound the turf emerges in December. It begins flowering lightly by about mid-March but really picks up steam in April. The blooms sometime linger into May. When it dies back in summer, the bulb needs to remain relatively dry.

In a warmer climate it can bloom as early as November. It rather likes Puget Sound weather patterns of wet winter & dry summers, so that it can go in a low-maintence roadside garden. Ours wasn't originally on the roadside, but near the house, growing at the foot of a Lady Bank's Rose that requires no watering to speak of. The location was chosen because this daffodil, like the Bank's Rose, mainly needs no more than ordinary rainfall.

This spot underneath the enormous climbing rose turned out to be too shady, so that the blooms were only moderately good in 2002 & 2003. So as autumn 2004 arrived, I lifted the bulbs, adding five more newly obtained 'Minnow' bulbs, & planted them along a ledge in the roadside's xeriscape rugosa rose garden. They flowered much better the following March than ever they had in the previous location

papyraceus
8W-W
 

White/White
 

January, February,
March

14 x
(35 x )

The white flowers are borne in bunches and are strongly fragrant. It is frequently grown as a house plant, often forced to flower at Christmas. Paperwhites do not require chilling to promote bloom. The bulbs begin to grow as soon as they are planted, with flowers appearing in 3–4 weeks.
Narcissus papyraceus thrives in moist, peat moss based potting mix. Plants can also be grown in containers of water. Cool temperatures between 50–65 °F (10–18 °C) and indirect light will help to prolong the bloom time.

Narcissus - Division 9: Poeticus Daffodil Cultivars

Narcissus - Division 10: Bulbocodium Daffodil Cultivars

'Golden Bells'
10Y-Y
 

Golden-Yellow/Yellow

April, May
 

3 x 6 (7.5cm x 15cm)

Particularly vigorous and reliable selection of this species, with golden yellow flared trumpet flowers.

There is one important difference in the two strains, however. Golden Bells blooms later than our patch of regular Narcissus bulbocodium. Our wild patch is veritably a winter bloomer at their height of blossom throughout March, whereas "Golden Bells" is in at its height of flower in April. If this were the one & only distinguishing feature, that would be enough to justify having two otherwise identical strains, for between the two, this means hoopskirts are flowering a long while, eight to nine weeks combined.

bulbocodium subsp. obesus
10Y-Y
 

Yellow/Yellow

March, April
 

6 x 4
(15 x 10)

Rarely offered this tetraploid form from southern Portugal has narrow, prostrate leaves and short stems with large flowers of bright golden yellow. Reputed to do well in limey soils, however all of our Narcissus grow in slightly limey soils here.

pseudonarcissus 10W-Y
 

Creamy-White/Yellow

February, March, April
 

12 x 8
(30 x 20)

Very variable bulbous wildflower, erect, strap-shaped, usually glaucous, mid-green leaves and flowers with yellow trumpets surrounded by narrow, twisted, creamy perianth segments, but can vary from white to deep yellow. Early spring flowering and leaves usually die back by mid-summer. Good for naturalising in grass or woodland.

pseudonarcissus
'Praecox'
10W-Y
 

Cream/Yellow

March

12 x 8
(30 x 20)

Early spring bulb with erect, strap-shaped leaves and nodding flowers with yellow trumpets surrounded by twisted, cream perianth segments. Good for naturalising

'Sunny Side Up'
11bY-Y

Lemon Yellow/ Lemon-Yellow

April

18 x 6 (45 x 15)

Very large, split corona type flowers with frilly lemon yellow petals.

Narcissus - Division 12 Other Daffodil Cultivars

'Tete-a-Tete'
12Y-Y

Yellow/Yellow

February, March, April

6 x 6
(15 x 15)

Standing at only 15cm (6in) high, its small size makes it ideal for planting in patio containers or at the front of the border. The deep golden yellow flowers appear in early spring, with each stem bearing up to 3 blooms. Plant the bulbs in early autumn, at one and half times their own depth.

'Toto' 12W-Y

White/Yellow

March, April

12 x 6
(30 x15)

Dwarf spring flowering bulb. Several flowers per stem with white perianth petals and straight pale yellow cups, ageing to creamy white.

Narcissus - Division 13: Daffodils distinguished solely by Botanical Name

asturiensis
13Y-Y
 

Fading Yellow/
Darker Yellow

January, February,
March
 

4 x 4
(10 x 10)

Narcissus asturiensis is an almost perfect miniature form of the ever popular King Alfred daffodil and is one of the smallest daffodils. At a height of 2 ½ - 5 inches (10-12 cm) it needs careful placement in a regular garden to show to best effect. Wonderful in miniature bulb gardens and small containers. This tiny daffodil can easily be forced and is a good candidate for unusual small containers such as tea cups and miniature strawberry pots. It grows best in sandy, peaty soil which is not allowed to completely dry out in summer. Prefers full sun. Protect from slugs.

bulbocodium
13Y-Y
 

Yellow/Golden-Yellow

March, April, May
 

8 x 4 (20 x 10) (takes from 2-5 years to reach ultimate height)

Narcissus bulbocodium is a delicate low-growing daffodil. In mid-spring, it produces funnel-shaped, pale to deep yellow flowers 3.5cm across with wide inflated trumpets and insignificant, pointed petals. The flower is reminiscent of a hoop petticoat caught in the wind, hence its common name.

The leaves of Narcissus bulbocodium are slender, semi-cylindrical and dark green 10-40cm long.
It makes a striking specimen plant for an alpine display house or cool glasshouse. Blooms can last up to two to three weeks, adding cheerfulness to overcast winter days. It is suitable for naturalising in damp, rough grass that dries out in summer.

cyclamineus
13Y-Y
 

Yellow/Yellow

March
 

6 x 6
(15 x 15)

It would be a duller place if these brightly coloured, miniature daffodils, with their distinctive and characteristic swept-back petals, were not present to liven up an alpine bed or warm the cold spaces under deciduous shrubs.

obvallaris
13Y-Y
 

Yellow/Yellow

March, April
 

12 x 6
(30 x 15)

This is the variety that grows wild in South Wales, and is described as having perfect proportions. It has an all yellow flower and is extremely hardy. It is ideal for planting into rough grass or meadows where it will spread when left undisturbed. The tidy appearance makes it equally good for beds and borders throughout the garden and could even be used in pots and windowboxes. Goes well with Athyrium filix-femina, Viola odorata and Helleborus argutfolius.

poeticus var
physaloides
13W-GYO
 

White/Green eye-zone, Yellow mid-zone, Red-Orange rim

May
 

8-12 x 6 (20-30 x 15)

Narrow, erect, strap-shaped, channelled leaves. Solitary, scented flowers in late spring, with flat, pure white perianth segments and very small yellow cups edged with red-orange. Good for naturalising.

The American Daffodil Society prides itself with the ever growing Display Garden program and its popular Youth Program. This section is dedicated to information about the American Daffodil Society organization, programs and awards. You will also find detailed information about local daffodil societies throughout the United States.

Dr Tom Throckmorton of Iowa computerized much data in the early 1970's regarding the flower colour of daffodils. With the support of the American Daffodil Society, the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) was approached and asked to consider certain modifications to its admittedly good classification. The RHS, after due consideration, approved the Revised Classification and published this in the International Register of Daffodil names in 1975 as follows:-

1. The classification of a daffodil cultivar shall be based on the description and measurements submitted by the person registering the variety, or shall be the classification submitted by such person.

2. Colours applicable to the description of daffodil cultivars are abbreviated as follows:

• W white or whitish
• G green
• Y yellow
• P pink
• O orange
• R red

3. For purposes of description, the daffodil flower shall be divided into perianth and corona (a crownlike appendage on a plant, esp. on the inner side of a corolla, as in the narcissus.).

4. The perianth shall be described by the letter or letters of the colour code most appropriate.

5. The corona shall be divided into 3 zones:an eye-zone, a mid-zone, and the edge or rim. Suitable coded colour descriptions shall describe these 3 zones, beginning with the eye-zone and extending to the rim - see Introduction Page

6. The letter or letters of the colour code most accurately describing the perianth shall follow the division designation. Narcissus Altun Ha is given the classification code 2YYW-W as the Champion Bloom at the 2011 Tulip and Daffodil Festival for the New Zealand's Daffodil Society. This code indicates a Yellow rim and edge, Yellow mid-zone and White inside part next to the corona of the perianth with White corona.

7. The letters of the colour code most accurately describing the zones of the corona shall then follow, from the eye-zone to the rim separated from the perianth letters by a hyphen. In Division 4, the letters of the colour code most accurately describing the admixture of petals and petaloids replacing the corona shall follow in proper order, using 3, 2, or 1 colour codes as appropriate - see Introduction Page.

8. If the corona is substantially of a single colour, a single letter of the colour code shall describe it.

With free advertising of their plants, I am asking for photos from the public / nurseries / seed companies / suppliers in the UK, or any other country in the European Union, who would supply plants / seeds mailorder direct to the public in the UK and/or the rest of the world.

See Page for Contact details and the Copyright Permissions Page.

Well-drained Acidic Sand or Chalk (Ideally the pH should be around 7 to 6.5).

Moist Soil. (Daffodils need lots of water while they are growing. Water immediately after planting and keep them moist until the rains come. Continue watering for three weeks or so after blooming time; then stop watering. The bulbs make their next year's bloom after flowering.)

If you intend to plant your Daffodils in pots, then read Pot Culture of Exhibition Daffodils in The Complete Guide for Growing and Exhibiting Daffodils irrespective of whether you are likely to exhibit your daffodils or not.

Wherever possible, choose ground that has not previously been used for growing daffodils in the last 5 years.

Either

Ideally the pH should be around 7 to 6.5 and should be cultivated to a depth of 2 spits with well-rotted animal manure or compost incorporated into the lower spit. Before planting the following fertiliser can be incorporated at the rate of four ounces (110 grammes) per square yard ( 1 square yard = 0.81 square metres) - 5 parts by weight of superphosphate, 5 parts of bone meal, 5 parts of suphate of potash and 1 part of hoof and horn.

or

If you have heavy clay, you can amend it with river sand to improve porosity; if you have sand, chopped leaves are the recommended amendment. DO NOT USE MANURE OR MUSHROOM COMPOST. Heavy, rich compost leads to a quick case of summer bulb rot! Also, when you amend clay, ensure you dig much deeper than the bulbs' root systems will travel - do not create a bowl that holds water and thus promotes rot. Chopped leaves are the recommended mulch - the weight is light enough not to smother emerging foliage, and the nutrients released by their slow decay function as slow-release fertilizer in good proportions for what daffodils desire.
You can collect and chop your own leaves by using a rotary mower set to its highest setting and mowing the lawn during the autumn when the deciduous tree leaves are falling in your own garden. Then, since you may already have planted your bulbs, lay a 2 inch (5 cm) depth mulch of these chopped leaves/grass over the newly planted bulb area and the worms will pull the mulch into the soil.
