Description
The wild daffodil is smaller than horticultural garden varieties with pale yellow flowers, with a darker central yellow trumpet. The long, narrow leaves are slightly greyish green in colour and rise from the base of the stem. Narcissus pseudonarcissus grows from a bulb and looks spectacular when planted in drifts. The yellow daffodils produce seeds, which when germinated, take five to seven years to produce a cheerful flowering plant.
The daffodil, also celebrated as the national flower of Wales and the county flower of Gloucestershire, is a symbol of hope and renewal, making it a cherished addition to gardens and natural landscapes across the UK alike.
Plant pointy end up, 10-15cm (4-6in) inches deep with three to four inches between each bulb. Shy to flower in the first year. Dead-head the flowers, but do not be tempted to cut back or tidy the foliage after flowering as this will interfere with the bulbs ability to store energy for the following year’s flower. Likes full sun or partial shade and well drained soil.
