Product Description

Mixed Daffodil (5kg)

Jamieson Brothers Mixed Daffodils - 5kg bag (approx 100 bulbs) A lovely bright mix of flowers to welcome the warmer days of Spring. This selection of Mixed Daffodils & Narcissi can be left undisturbed to naturalise for years and are suitable for planting in woodland, riverbanks and parkland landscapes Plant your daffodil bulbs with the pointed end facing upwards at a depth of about 10cm (4in). Deep planting is important to prevent the bulbs dividing and producing lots of small bulbs which won't flower. Space them about two bulb-widths apart and add a small amount of fertiliser to encourage growth. The bulbs prefer a free draining soil and will grow well in both sun and shade. They can also be planted anywhere in the garden, though avoid total shade and avoid getting too close to south facing walls as the soil may get too warm. Daffodil bulbs are recommended to be planted on mass to produce amazing displays. They are also great in borders and grass verges. A quick and easy way to plant them is to prise up the soil with a spade and then put them underneath. The best way to avoid bulbs that don't produce flowers (blind) is to make sure that they are planted deep enough, they are not too close together, the soil is not compacted and they have anough nutrients. The bulb size is graded 10/14cm, by using the larger size bulb the stems are sturdier and more numerous. This also means that there are more flowers per bulb and they are less likely to flop over. CAUTION: Ornamental bulbs are not edible and can be a skin irritant.

FAQs

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

Can I plant daffodil bulbs now in the UK?

Daffodil bulbs are normally planted in early autumn, ideally from September, for flowers the following spring. If you are looking for daffodil bulbs for planting now in the UK, plant them as soon as possible while the soil is workable. Daffodils grow well in borders, pots and light shade, provided the soil or compost drains freely. Avoid leaving bulbs in a warm shed or cupboard for too long, as they can deteriorate in storage.

Why have my daffodil bulbs not grown or flowered?

Daffodils may fail to grow or flower because of waterlogged soil, late planting, shallow planting, overcrowding or damaged bulbs. They need well-drained soil and should be planted deeply enough to form strong roots. In later years, healthy leaves with no flowers can be a sign that the bulbs have become overcrowded or did not have enough time to replenish themselves after their previous flowering season. Leave the foliage in place until it has turned yellow naturally, rather than cutting or tying it up too early.

Are small, dry or slightly smelly daffodil bulbs still okay to plant?

Daffodil bulb size can vary between products, but a healthy bulb should feel firm and solid. A dry, papery outer skin is normal, and minor surface marks do not usually affect growth. Daffodil bulbs can have a light earthy scent, but a strong sour, musty or rotten smell is a warning sign. Do not plant bulbs that are soft, wet, badly mouldy or rotting, as they are unlikely to grow and could affect nearby bulbs.

Will my daffodils flower in the colour shown on the product page?

Daffodil bulbs should produce flowers in the colour and style described on their product page. Daffodils naturally come in a range of yellows, whites, creams, oranges and bi-colours, depending on the product selected. Product photographs show the expected flower, but natural blooms can appear slightly lighter or darker in different weather and light conditions. Check the product title and description carefully when choosing, particularly for mixed daffodil bulbs, as a mixed pack can contain more than one flower form or colour.

Do daffodil bulbs come back every year?

Yes, daffodils are long-lived spring bulbs and can return for many years with little maintenance. After flowering, remove spent flower heads if desired, but leave the leaves growing until they have yellowed and died back naturally. This allows the bulb to store energy for the following spring. Over time, established daffodils can form larger clumps by producing new bulbs. If flowering becomes weaker after several years, lifting and dividing crowded clumps can help restore performance.
