Narcissus Yellow Cheerfulness - Daffodil

Each stem bears 4 to 8 double flowers on long, rigid stems. A lovely fragrant creamy yellow colour. Very floriferous. This variety forms magnificent bouquets.

Narcissus are the hardiest bulbs planted in autumn. They tolerate both full sun and partial shade. They prefer well-drained soil but also thrive in heavy soil.

For bouquets: We advise against mixing Narcissus with other flowers. Especially Tulips, as the stems of Narcissus contain a substance that quickly wilts other flowers. This detrimental effect can be attenuated for other types of flowers by dipping the ends of the Narcissus stems in warm water for 1 to 2 minutes.

Narcissus come back every year. Unlike other perennial plants, it is unnecessary to fertilise before flowering. Only cut the leaves when they have turned yellow and apply fertiliser then: this is when the bulb replenishes itself and prepares the flowers for the following year.
