Description

Wild Daffodil Narcissus pseudonarcissus

Common names include, Lent lily, bell rose, common daffodil, Lent rose and trumpet narcissus.

One of the best early spring flowers for naturalising, this familiar native perennial has distinctive yellow trumpet-like flowers on long straight stalks.

Ideal for woodland settings, meadows, containers, garden flower beds and borders and asa cut flower.

Plant your wild daffodils 10-15cm below the surface of the soil. Wild daffodils can take a while to become established, and the bulbs might only produce leaves in the first year of growth as their energies will be going into producing good, strong roots. Rather than cutting it off, let this foliage die back naturally; the leaves are still photosynthesising and sending nutrients into the bulbs for next year’s flowers.

Please note, wild daffodil bulbs are smaller than many cultivated varieties and measure up to 2cm in length – please see the photograph above for reference.
