    Daffodils are a type of flower native to Europe, North Africa and Asia that are among the first to bloom in spring. They grow from bulbs and come in various colors like yellow, white and orange. Daffodils have trumpet-shaped centers surrounded by six petal-like segments. They are perennials that will grow back each year from the same bulbs if planted correctly in the fall. Daffodils prefer well-draining soil and full sun or partial shade.

    Daffodil
    What is it?

    It is a flower.

    Daffodils are native to Europe, North Africa and Asia.

    They are perennial (a plant that lives for more than two
    years).

    They will grow in pots or in the garden.

    They grow from a bulb the larger the bulb, the bigger
    the plant and again the flower next spring.

    One of the first spring flowers.

    What does it look like?


    Common problems

    All daffodils have a corona in the centre that looks like


    a trumpet and a star-shaped ring of six petals around it.
    The size of the trumpet and length of the petals varies
    between varieties.

    Slugs and snails can be a problem and so need removing.


    Sprinkle pellets to stop them coming back.

    Daffodils are mostly yellow, and can be yellow-andwhite, yellow-and-orange, white-and-orange, pink and
    lime-green.

    Bulbs can rot if the ground is too wet. If flowers look


    unhealthy and change colour, it is best to dig them up
    and throw them away.

    They come in all sizes, from 12.5cm flowers on 60cm


    stems to 2cm flowers on 5cm stems.

    How do you grow it?


    They will grow in the shade or in full sunlight.

    They prefer soil that drains well.

    Plant daffodil bulbs in the autumn about a month


    before the ground freezes, to allow the roots to
    start to grow.

    Plant them 15-20cm deep and 10-15cm apart.

    Sprinkle garden compost in the hole during


    planting.

    They need plenty of watering while they are


    growing.

    After they bloom, leave the plant to grow until it


    dies off. They need time after blooming to store
    energy in the bulb so it will grow next year. To
    remove the dead plant, either cut it off at the base
    or twist the leaves and pull gently.

    Squirrels and other rodents do not like the taste


    of the bulbs.

    They symbolise friendship.

    They were brought to Britain by the Romans.
