Description
If you just love all the daffodil colors, this is the mix for you. These bulbs are landscape size' which means they are smaller than some, but all of blooming size--these are the ones used in parks and commercial plantings. The mix includes all the best plus some of the cluster-flowered types, doubles, and more. You'll also have all the successful bicolors. Brilliant orange cups on snow white petals, orange cups on golden petals, the famous yellow cupped one with the cup ringed in deep orange, plus pure yellow of course. All these are as hardy as the basic yellow trumpet, the only difference is you'll have all the colors.
So don't hesitate. With this mix, you can plant just a few or a whole acre, and in spring, they'll all be there to light up your life. You can't have too many of these, and planting is easy:
Naturalizing Daffodils. Probably nothing in the gardening world is more foolproof and more rewarding than 'naturalizing' daffodils. Because unlike most other garden flowers, these fantastic plants are super-easy to plant in fall, they don't care about soil, as long as it's well-drained, and they'll bloom beautifully for you with absolutely no work every spring after you plant them. Best of all, daffodils increase over the years, each bulb developing into a blooming clump. All you have to do is pick the spots. The one thing to remember is that you won't be able to mow that area until the tops die down. Everything else takes care of itself. In a new or established wildflower meadow, the wildflower plants grow up around the daffodils hiding the fading foliage, so there's no work to do. And if you're planting wildflower seed, what could be easier that to pop in the bulbs when you have the ground already turned?'
