Spring Flowering Bulbs

Daffodils
|
Most daffodils are
very drought hardy, requiring no water during
summer and early autumn, preferring their moisture
from May to October.
The number (in brackets), after the name of the daffodil indicates the relative time of flowering. Number 0 being the earliest - around June: and 6 the latest - in October. We do recommend that people who live in areas which experience a constant dry late spring, purchase daffodils that are coded between 0-3 and any of the jonquils listed on this page. Stock listed in this catalogue is
available until mid-April unless otherwise
stated or sold out. Please advise substitutes in
case an item becomes unavailable.
As a further matter of interest: Daffseek is an interesting website for those who are very keen on Daffodils. It has a search engine that allows you to type in the name of a variety, this comes up with photos and a full description of the flower. Click on this link

actually overtakes the growth of the foliage. Few to offer

A super large flower with a long bell

in a pot at our open garden. It was so good
someone jumped the fence & stole it out of
their garden! So best grown in the
back garden (Smile) ...
