Daffodils & Narcissus: Golden Heralds of Spring
Posted by John Marshall on
Few flowers announce the return of spring quite like Daffodils and Narcissus. Their bright trumpets rise from the still-cool earth when much of the garden is only beginning to stir, bringing yellow, white, cream, orange, and peach to the early-season landscape.
Our fall collection of Daffodil and Narcissus bulbs has arrived at GoGardenNow, ready to be planted now for flowers next spring. The selection reaches far beyond the familiar yellow trumpet daffodil, with varieties offering elegant white petals, contrasting cups, delicate miniatures, fragrant flowers, doubles, and graceful clusters of blooms.
Botanically, all daffodils belong to the genus Narcissus. Whatever name you prefer, they remain among the most dependable and enduring of spring-flowering bulbs.
Plant them in beds and borders, beneath deciduous trees, along woodland edges, or in informal drifts where they can naturalize. Given suitable conditions, many Narcissus will return year after year, multiplying gradually into colonies that become more impressive with time.
They are especially handsome planted in generous groups. A handful is cheerful; a great sweep of daffodils on a spring morning is something altogether different.
Autumn is the season to begin. Plant the bulbs in well-drained soil, allow winter to do its quiet work, and wait for those unmistakable green shoots to announce that spring is on its way.
Explore our fall collection of Daffodils and Narcissus at GoGardenNow and plant now for a glorious spring display.
