Narcissus and Daffodils – striking spring blooms!

My growing appreciation for Narcissus and Daffodils began when I first got the cottage. Taking possession of the property in the fall, the first thing I did was to plant bulbs (CROCUS and SNOWDROPS) in the garden. My hope was to add a splash of colour the following spring. I figured I’d plant fifty bulbs and see what happens.

I’ll never forget seeing those bright, sunny blooms for the first time that following spring. It was proof positive that I was onto a brilliant idea.

BULB LOVE

Since then, I’ve made it my mission to keep adding new bulbs into the mix. You should do the same! I’d say I now have over five-hundred bulbs in the garden. I’ve even started tucking them into key spots in the forest that leads down to the cottage. They’re all thriving and naturalize really well.

A mixture of different daffodils

Narcissus and daffodils come in virtually every shape and size and the varieties include a number of favourites. Look for daffodils, daffadowndilly, narcissus, and jonquil to name a few. Head HERE to learn about different varieties.

VARIETY

They have striking flowers with six petal-like tepals that are then topped off by a trumpet-shaped corona. The flowers are generally white, cream-coloured or yellow. Look closely at the way the colours mix with either uniform or contrasting coloured tepals and corona.
