Miniature Daffodils Collection

Miniature Daffodils are tough, hardy and simple to grow. Their petite blooms are small in size but big on impact. These superb daffodils always attract attention and each bulb produces more than one flower. So why not plant as many as space permits! They are perfect for small gardens, pots, lawn plantings or the front of beds.

Miniature Daffodils are easy, they like the simple things in life; plenty of sun and a well drained soil.

Plant Daffodil bulbs three times as deep as the bulb is high, with the pointy end up. This depth will help protect them from heat and soil erosion, as well as providing strength for the stem.

Space your Daffodils 5-10cm or apart. Planting them closer will give a more dramatic display. We like to plant ours three to a hole as this creates in instant effect. When you use this method in garden beds, with smaller clumps of bulbs more often, you get the joy of repetition. Another benefit is that when the foliage dies back it is more inconspicuous.

Once the flowering has finished, it is ideal to remove the flower stem; simply snap or snip the finished flower off. This has two advantages; the first is that it stops the plant focusing on unnecessary seed production, so you can increase your bulb numbers and size, secondly it looks better.

Allow the foliage to remain until it has yellowed, this is when the bulbs are gathering energy and nutrients for next year’s blooms. Keep the plants relatively moist during this time, adding a little general purpose fertiliser will help provide for next year’s display. Daffodils appreciate Potash and slow release fertilisers which are low in nitrogen (so you get more flowers and less foliage). Don’t be too heavy handed, you won’t need much as they are not heavy feeders.

Collection, five of each variety, separately labelled. Includes ‘Tete Boucle’, Sweetness’, ‘Yellow Sailboat’, ‘Bittern’, ‘Canaliculatus’ and ‘Tete a Tete’.
