Product Information

Poeticus daffodils: Recognizable by their white petals and small, red-rimmed cups, these flowers have a lovely fragrance. While daffodils are beautiful and brighten up any space, it’s important to remember that they are also poisonous to humans. If accidentally ingested, all parts of the plant can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain ( source).

The best time for planting daffodil bulbs is late September, though October should also be satisfactory. The bulbs need at least three months of cold temperatures at between 3ºC and 9ºC to promote flowering. Division 1: Trumpet daffodil cultivars with one flower to a stem; the corona as long as, or longer than, the petals. Division 8: Tazetta daffodil cultivars with three to 20 fragrant flowers on a stout stem; broad leaves; petals spreading, not reflexed. Some are only half-hardy. She turned her attention to the Homes sector as a result of an ongoing renovation and improvement project, which takes up a fair amount of her time outside of work. When she’s not comparing carpet samples or debating the pros and cons of induction hobs, you’ll find Rosanna exploring Bristol’s food and drink scene, obsessively watching horror films, or donning some walking boots and heading for the hills.Daffodils – These can shorten the life of other flowers when they’re cut and placed in a vase. There are a couple of options to help with this; When displaying daffodils in a vase, it’s a good practice to use a separate vase or jar for these flowers to prevent curious pets from accidentally ingesting them. Place the vase in an area that is not easily accessible to your pets, such as a high shelf or a closed-off room. Toxicity to Humans Division 3: Small-cupped daffodil cultivars with one flower to a stem; corona not more than one-third the length of the petals.

Once, I’ve gone around the outside of the vase with my shorter stems then I’ll go around again with stems that are a bit longer and then again doing the same thing using longer stems. I usually fit 2 or 3 stems into each of the outside gaps in the tape. The daffodil’s bright, sunny flowers appear from late March. They have a perianth of 6 petals, or more correctly tepals. Inside this is the corona, also known as the cup or trumpet, which surrounds the six stamens and a three-lobed stigma. Division 8, Tazetta: Fragrant clusters of florets dot the Tazetta daffodil, with anywhere from three to 20 blooms per stem. The leaves and stems are also broader than usual. The best soils for daffodils are well-drained, fertile loams with plenty of organic matter. The ideal pH is around 7 to 6.5, though they will tolerate a few units either way. Before planting, poor sandy or clay soils should be cultivated to a depth of two spades, with well-rotted manure or garden compost incorporated into the lower spit. Alternatively, heavier clay soils can be improved by raising the bed and incorporating plenty of sharp sand or grit.Change the water every other day to keep the daffodils looking vibrant and fresh. This will help to keep bacteria from building up in the vase. Eventually she decided to reveal herself and embrace him. He rejected her advances and told her to leave him alone. Heartbroken, she spent the rest of her life roaming the woods until nothing was left but the sound of her voice (an echo). Learning of this, Nemesis - the Goddess of Revenge - decided to punish Narcissus by drawing him to a stream where he saw his reflection. Unable to look away from such perfection, he fell in love with it. Ideally place the flowers away from drafts and out of direct sunlight. Choose somewhere cool and away from fruit, but do place them somewhere you can see and enjoy them. Another factor could be the daffodil variety itself. Some varieties, like the trumpet or triandrus, may have a shorter flowering time than others. To extend the life of your daffodils, choose longer-lasting varieties, and ensure they’re properly nourished. Daffodils can naturalize well in various landscapes. You can plant them in clusters under deciduous trees, where they will receive full sun in early spring before trees leaf out. Using bulb fertilizer and ensuring moist soil will help promote healthy growth. Daffodils can also grow well in partial shade and neutral to slightly acidic soil conditions. Make sure the soil stays well-drained to prevent issues like basal rot. Hardiness Zones and Care

Daffodil blindness, when a plant fails to flower, has a number of causes. Growing conditions, pests or diseases may be to blame. Division 2: Large-cupped daffodil cultivars with one flower to a stem; corona more than one-third of, but shorter than, the length of the petals.

Narcissus bulb flies are the main cause of damage to daffodil bulbs. The larvae burrow into the bulbs and cause flowering failure and ultimately death. There is no treatment and diseased bulbs should be destroyed. Container bulbs and those planted too shallowly or in loose soil are more likely to be affected. When choosing daffodils for a vase, it’s essential to consider factors like the variety and color of the flowers. By carefully selecting the right type of daffodils, you can create stunning arrangements while ensuring the blooms last longer in your vase. Choose the Right Variety At a time when collectors spent enormous sums on tulip bulbs and other flora and fauna, Brueghel’s highly detailed paintings were seen as a substitute for the real thing: one claimed he could imagine the flowers’ scent and appreciate their everlasting colours, especially in winter. As flowers die remove them from the arrangement to help the other flowers last as long as possible. Individual flower care It’s also important to note that while daffodils are beautiful and popular, they contain a toxic substance called lycorine. This can be harmful to both humans and animals, so be cautious about keeping daffodils in a space accessible to pets or handling them without gloves.
