Delightfully daffy! Time to start planning your spring planting
Richly fragrant N. 'Geranium' is best for picking — nice long stems, small, scarlet-orange cups and white petals. But if you prefer gentler colours, 'Avalanche' has white petals with lemon cups.
White flowers can look classier than yellow ones in natural drifts. Under flowering cherries, for instance, a carpet of the creamy trumpet daffodil 'Mount Hood' would look superb.
I'm especially fond of Cyclamineus daffodils, whose petals tend to be swept back, giving them extra elegance. White and creamy varieties abound, with 'Dove Wings' and 'Toto' performing well for me.
You might not find all these varieties at garden centres, but specialist suppliers should have them, and bulbs are perfect for mail order.
Narcissi will grow almost anywhere, but prefer deep planting in sun or semi-shade, in soil which doesn't dry completely in summer. If you grow them in a container, use a good quality, moisture-retaining medium.
