Narcissus Loveday

Narcissus Loveday is a bulbous plant that stands out with its large 8-10 cm (3-4in) diameter flowers, which are golden yellow with a bright orange trumpet.

Daffodils are the most resistant bulbs planted in autumn and can tolerate both full sun and partial shade. They prefer well-drained soil but can also thrive in heavy soil.

For bouquets: We advise against mixing Narcissus with other flowers, especially Tulips, as the stems of Narcissus contain a substance that causes other flowers to wilt quickly. This detrimental effect on other flower species can be reduced by dipping the ends of Narcissus stems in warm water for 1 to 2 minutes.

Narcissus plants come back every year. Unlike perennial plants, there is no need to feed them before flowering. Only cut the leaves when they turn yellow and apply fertiliser at this time, as this is when the bulb replenishes itself and prepares the flowers for the following year.
