Collection of 45 Mini Daffodils

We offer you a collection of 50 Mini Daffodils with small flowers in different shades of cream, lemon yellow, white, yellow, and bright orange. Solid or two-tone, some very fragrant, all have been celebrated in England for their performance in the garden. Their flowering extends from February to April. All these bulbs - close to botanical species - are easy to grow, naturalise in well-drained soil, and establish themselves discreetly in the garden. Dwarf varieties are ideal for rockeries and containers.

The collection consists of:

10 Toto Daffodils: an old award-winning variety with a slightly curled white corolla and a small yellow trumpet turning cream.

15 Minnow Daffodils: multi-flowered, with up to 5 very small pale yellow to cream flowers with a small yellow trumpet on each stem. They are divinely fragrant, like all narcissus of the tazetta group.

10 SunDisc Daffodils

10 Jet Fire Daffodils: multi-flowered, with early and prolonged flowering, but also subtly fragrant. Small bright yellow blooms adorned with a small orange trumpet, full of life.

Labelled separately.

The genus Narcissus, from the Amaryllidaceae family, includes about 50 species mainly found in the Western Mediterranean, but also in Africa and Asia.

Undemanding, these daffodils grow in any well-drained and loosened soil, but results are diminished in soils that are too wet, especially in summer, or excessively acidic and dry. There is such a choice of varieties among daffodils that you can enjoy them for three months in spring without ever getting bored. They have in common the ability to naturalise easily, to produce lovely scenes of yellow and white, and often to emit sweet fragrances. For these reasons it is appealing to grow them in large clumps (at least 20 bulbs) for a multiplied effect. Combine daffodils in natural-looking beds and rockeries with squills, crocuses, and hyacinths, or accompany them with early-blooming botanical tulips as well as forget-me-nots, pansies, or liverworts. This daffodil is also perfect in pots.

Daffodil or Narcissus? Botanically speaking, daffodils are part of the narcissus family. They have flowers in groups of two or more, and their corolla forms a campanulate trumpet longer than it is wide. Botanical species have the charm of wild plants and thrive in rockeries: N. bulbocodium, N. canaliculatus, N. juncifolius and N. pseudonarcissus, the simple wood jonquil, are among the most beautiful. In bouquets, we advise you not to mix daffodils with other flowers such as tulips, as daffodil stems contain a substance that causes other flowers to wilt quickly. You can mitigate this harmful effect for other flower types by dipping the ends of the daffodil stems in warm water for 1 to 2 minutes.
