Daffodils (Narcissus) are iconic spring-blooming bulbs cherished for their vibrant colours and cheerful demeanour. Native to Europe and North Africa, these perennial flowers belong to the Amaryllidaceae family and have become synonymous with the arrival of spring in gardens around the world, even being adopted by Wales as their National Flower.
Characterised by their trumpet-shaped flowers with a central corona surrounded by six petal-like tepals, Daffodils come in an array of hues, including yellow, white, orange, and even pink. Their distinctive fragrance and the striking contrast of their blooms against the green foliage make them a quintessential component of spring landscapes.
Cultivating Daffodils is relatively straightforward, as they thrive in well-drained soil and prefer a sunny to partially shaded location. These hardy bulbs naturalise easily, meaning they multiply and return reliably year after year. Planting is typically done in the fall, allowing the bulbs to establish roots before the growing season.
Beyond their ornamental value, Daffodils are known for their resilience and deer resistance, making them a popular choice for both formal and naturalistic garden settings. Their presence in gardens and floral arrangements symbolises renewal and the promise of warmer days, making Daffodils a beloved and enduring emblem of spring's arrival.
