Description

The bright and cheerful miniature varieties will wake up first in early spring in our Deer Resistant Daffodil Bulb Collection followed by the dramatic large cupped Daffodils in mid spring. This collection will do more than just add cheer to your garden, patio or balcony. Deer, rabbits and squirrels find daffodils less appetizing meaning you can enjoy these blooms without the worry of critter damage. Plant in well-drained soil, and if placed in a garden they will naturalize over time. Long lasting flowers will add fragrance to your garden and make for bright bouquets to enjoy inside.

Our bulb collections will easily give you beautiful, harmonious results in garden beds and floral arrangements. We plan, you plant: each collection is curated by our gardening experts, featuring flower groupings with complementary colors, heights, and bloom times.

The Deer Resistant Daffodil Bulb Collection includes 49 bulbs, covering 6.5 square feet when planted together.

Scarlet Ohara Large Cupped Daffodil - 8 Bulbs

The Poet's Daffodil Actaea - 8 Bulbs

Tete-a-Tete Miniature Daffodil - 25 Bulbs

Cheerfulness Double Daffodil - 8 Bulbs

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'
