Narcissus Sentinel

If they evoke a character from Greek mythology, <strong>the <a href="https://www.promessedefleurs.ie/spring-bulbs/narcissi-daffodils.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">daffodils</a> or jonquils are also stunning bulbous perennial plants with yellow or white spring flowering.</strong> Their bright colours are perfect for waking up the garden after winter and signalling the arrival of spring! We often think of wild daffodils, such as the wood jonquil or the poet's daffodil, but there are hundreds of varieties. Their height varies greatly: mini-daffodils measure only 15 centimetres tall, while large daffodils can reach heights of 40 to 50 cm. The flowers are sometimes simple and natural, easily fitting into a woodland garden or a short grass meadow, while at other times they are very sophisticated, with varieties featuring double flowers or "orchid-like flowers," bringing elegance and originality to the flower beds! Daffodils are wonderful early flowers for creating bouquets, and many varieties charm us with their pleasant fragrance. <strong>The daffodil is an indestructible bulb capable of growing almost anywhere!</strong> It settles well in shaded and damp places, and can even tolerate heavy, clayey soils. Daffodil planting takes place in autumn, and once well established, <strong>they naturalise easily.</strong> They return year after year, requiring almost no maintenance. Depending on the varieties, they adapt to many situations: in a short grass meadow, as borders, in woodlands, in rockeries, or in pots... it is even possible to force them to enjoy flowering in the middle of winter!
