Garden sustainably with daffodils, which will bloom from March to May and come back every year. They are easy to grow and will thrive in the shade of woodland or a sunny flower bed. Plant them 10 cm (4in) deep and 10 cm (4in) apart, in minimum sets of 5 bulbs, in patches of uniform or mixed colours. To plant them in a lawn: lift a patch of turf, dig and loosen the soil to a depth of at least 20 cm (8in) (the length of a spade), place your bulbs, cover them with soil and replace the turf. Choose a spot where you won't mow, as you must let daffodil leaves wither before cutting them. This is when the bulb regenerates and prepares the flowers for the following year. However, cut the flowers as soon as they fade to prevent seed formation which would unnecessarily deplete the bulb.
