Product Information

In areas that are too shaded, simply move the bulbs to a sunny spot between May and October. Soils with poor fertility can be improved by applying a mulch of well-rotted manure or garden compost to improve soil condition and provide much needed nutrients. This can be done in the autumn or early spring before they begin to grow. If you want to divide large clumps of bulbs then this should ideally be done once the foliage has turned yellow. You can also do it in autumn (if you had previously marked where your bulbs are!). Carefully lift the clump with a garden fork or spade, taking care not to damage the bulbs. Gently ease away the bulbs that you want to relocate and be sure to plant these as soon as possible. The remainder can be replanted in their original hole. Daffodil problems and troubleshooting

One flower per stem, each with a corona that is more than one-third, but less than equal to the length of the tepals. Caring for daffodils once they have flowered is of the utmost importance and is going to significantly improve the aesthetic appeal of your plants. Not only that, but it’s also going to provide better blooms for the following year. If you need an extra incentive to wait, a simple return to biology lessons of days gone by will explain why it’s so important to exercise patience. Remember ‘Photosynthesis’? Then gently lift the bulbs from the soil, if any new bulbs are starting to form through division then you can break these off to form new plants. The daffodil bloom is considered by many as the first clear sign of the arrival of spring, but you need to make sure that you care for them.

When to Cut Back Daffodils

Simply snip off the faded flower and developing seedpod at the top of each stem. Leave the flower stems and leaves in place though, as these will still continue transfer energy to the bulb. If the stem and foliage is removed or tied into a knot while still green, your daffodils may come up blind (without flowers) next year.

Many people are particularly neat about their garden, and don’t like the fact that the strands are left all over the garden. Once the blooms fade, the plant needs to be thoroughly cleaned to make sure that the garden is neat and clean. Water lightly after planting to settle the soil around the bulbs. They won't require any water over winter. Where flowering rapidly declines try feeding the bulbs. As the growing points emerge in the spring apply Growmore at a rate of 70g per sq m (2oz per sq yd) sprinkled evenly on the soil surface around the bulbs. After flowering, especially for container-grown bulbs, apply a highpotassium liquid feed, such as tomato food at one to two week intervals from when the blooms have faded until the first signs of yellowing of foliage Our bulbs are regularly inspected for pests and diseases by the Dutch and British plant health authorities, which avoids that risk. Deadheading not only tidies the plant up and makes it look better but it also stops the plant from putting its energy into creating seeds.Some gardeners find daffodil leaves to be a bit messy looking after the flowers are gone. If this is the case, you can do some strategic planting to hide the daffodil leaves until they die. Growing plants in front of or with daffodils that grow and bloom slightly later will help hide the leaves. Some camouflage candidates include: Daffodils are incredibly self-sufficient and don't demand much care at all. Once planted, they can be left in the soil to their own devices all year round. There are a few things which you can bear in mind: Congested, overcrowded bulbs can also suffer daffodil blindness. Divide your bulbs and replant them to give them some extra space.

We will not be growing daffodils from the seed heads in most circumstances so this is wasted energy, but once the seedhead has been removed all of the energy will be going into the bulb instead.Typically planted in the fall for spring bloom, many daffodil types will readily naturalize in a lawn or woodland area, gradually creating a blanket of spring color. They can also work well for filling garden spaces that are empty in spring but will be filled in as late spring and summer perennials mature. Another bonus is that deer shy away fromdaffodil blooms and will rarely, if ever, damage them. You can also plant 'forced' bulbs indoors in September – such as the fragrant paper-white daffodil( Narcissus papyraceus)– for flowering at Christmas or New Year. See our guide to growing bulbs for Christmas. How to plant The daffodil was introduced to Wales as the country’s national flower in the nineteenth century. They have been compared to Welsh people more than any other plant in our more recent culture, and they were thought to be the most picturesque flora to ever exist. David Lloyd George, the first to advocate for them to be a symbol, had advocated for them to be used as a symbol. What Flower Is The Symbol Of Wales? Gardeners often use the word variety when referring to a specific plant, but the correct botanical term is 'cultivar'. Whichever word you use, it means a distinctive plant or plants, given a specific cultivar name and usually bred to enhance certain characteristics, such as flower or fruit size, colour, flavour or fragrance, plant size, hardiness, disease resistance, etc. Additionally, it is worth knowing that, botanically, variety has another meaning - it refers to a naturally-occurring distinct plant that only has slight differences in its looks. For example, Malva alcea var. fastigiata differs from typical plants by having an upright habit. cultivar descriptions, photos and supplier details.
