Description

Here's a great mixture of all the best color combos in Large Cupped Daffodils. Just look at the glowing pinks and oranges, in addition to the classic golds and whites! This mix literally lights up the garden.

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?

Planting & Care

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?

About the Wild Daffodils: Like wild tulips which are more the size of crocus, most of the wild daffodils are tiny too. They're generally small wildflowers that have been hybridized by the Dutch into the big tall beauties we know today.

Unlike tulips which are native to Central Asia, daffodils are European wildflowers, native to areas of France, Spain and Portugal.

Holland is not the ancestral home of any bulb flowers. But it's the home of almost all the hybrids, since the Dutch hybridizers have not only created thousands of new flowers gardeners love, they've developed a huge national industry that supplies bulbs to gardeners worldwide.

To a wild gardener, of course, the original un-hybridized species (and their close hybrids) are all interesting, and even better, they're all dependably perennial. Plant them once, and they're there forever. Unlike the hybrids which develop bigger and bigger clumps each year, and have to be divided every few seasons for good bloom, the wild species simply spread, like they do in the wild. So there is no maintenance for the wild bulbs, once you get them established.

Here are the major wild species:

  • Narcissus tazetta
  • Narcissus triandrus
  • Narcissus pseudonarcissus
  • Narcissus jonquilla
  • Narcissus poeticus recurvus
  • Narcissus clyclamineus'

Good customer service

"The bulbs were large and healthy but not the colors I was expecting. American Meadows was very quick to make things right and that's why I give them a 5."

— Ann (5/5)

I would buy these again

"Bought an assorted of big-cup daffodil mix last year. It was a fun surprise to see what grows and blooms. Very healthy bulbs, almost all survived the Winter. Plan to buy more of these 'grab-bags' assortments in September."

— Bon B. (5/5)

A WOW!! and PERFECT for cuttings.

"WOW, a my happy or what. . . with these bulbs. Some of the bulbs were fairly large and have produced wonderful strong thick leaves, stems and flowers. The colors are simply amazing as each flower seems SO unique and delicate - mesmerizing in the garden and in my vases. I used a dark rich soil from a Maine soil company to add to my beds, so maybe that helped as well. . ."

"They came up so beautiful this spring. Very pleased."

— Tina M. (5/5)

Nice sturdy Daffs

"The daffodils are big and gorgeous. My only complaint was that they were advertised as having differing colours and there was not the variety I expected. Two yellow ones, and all the rest were off white with a bit of very pale yellow on the inside 'trumpet'. In the picture of the product, there were colours of pink or red on the inside trumpet, and more colour variety overall."

— Arianna (4/5)

Beautiful!

"Your daffodils are blooming now and are Beautiful! I will be ordering from you again, products are fantastic and costumer service is great!"

— Smileykate (5/5)

Lovely

"I planted these in layers with tulips and hyacinths and the display was gorgeous."

— Seahag (5/5)

These daffodils are stunning!

"I picked a bouquet for my daughter's cafe and placed it by the cash register. Almost everyone wants to know where they came from, they are so beautiful! So we tell them!!! I'm not an experienced gardener, just love daffodils in the spring. These bulbs are healthy and every one produced several blooms, the first season. American Meadows does a great job, I highly recommend them to everyone"

— Sadie (5/5)
