  • I hope you enjoy today’s video which is a tour of all the beautiful daffodils (Narcissus) I bought from Farmer Gracy in the Netherlands and planted out in 10 groups of 10 bulbs in October last year. And I have been so delighted with them, and look forward to them all naturalising, multiplying and spreading in the years to come. They are:
    Carlton
    Mondragon
    Sunlover
    Manly
    Ascot
    Double Mixed
    Dutch Master
    Acropolis
    Professor Einstein
    Thalia
    Minnow

    Daffodils just light up a spring garden. You have many of the varieties I have. I love Manly and Thalia. Best of all they stay upright. I hate floppy flowers. I buy a few to trial out in the garden. If they behave, the following year I buy a load more, if they flop they get crossed off the list and banned for life!

Thalia will be new to me this year, can't wait. I don't care for the look of dieing daff leaves either. When a leaf yellows I snip that part away lol so it always looks green yet it's still doing its job of replenishing the bulb. Happy Easter🐇🌷

      Hope you gals don't mind me chiming in here about the jugs. I find the thing people tend to not mention in their videos is you really need to keep a close eye once the weather starts warming up. The surface dries so quickly if there is wind or no snow/rain. That top inch needs to stay moist. I use the pump sprayer so I can place the wand into the jug and mist it really good. Once or twice a week depending on the weather. Last year was a complete fail but this year it's working.

I also planted red revival tulips which took a bit if a beating in those strongs winds a couple of weeks ago. They are now gone. I still have the red impression tulips.
