These tall and elegant daffodils make cheerful and prolific additions to the spring display. All these varieties make excellent cut flowers and are good value for money in the garden. They are also good for naturalising in wilder areas of the garden too.
In each collection you will receive 10 bulbs of each of these varieties:
- Narcissus 'Red Devon': Large flowers (to 11cm across), are made up of light yellow outer segments, which surround a frilly-edged rich orange cup. Appearing on stout, upright stems, they make very cheerful additions to the spring display. Grows to 50cm
- Narcissus 'Carlton': If you love the big, blousy, traditional daffodils, then you are going to want to include some of these in your garden. This variety is grown extensively for the cut flower trade as their blooms are so robust and long lived. It has been around for nearly one hundred years, is one of the first daffs into flower, and as it is so vigorous it is perfect for naturalising. It is such a fabulous plant it has deservedly been given the prestigious Award of Garden Merit by the RHS. Grows to 45cm.
- Narcissus 'Ice Follies': The broad, frilly edged cup of this pretty daffodil is initially a rich, buttery yellow, but as it ages it fades, turning almost as white as the ring of outer petals (perianth). Noted for its ability to produce a prolific display, it is certainly a worthy contender for a patch in the garden. Grows to 40cm
- Humans/Pets: Harmful if eaten; skin irritant
