Miniature Daffodils and Narcissi Tips
Good things come in small packages and that applies to Daffodils for house and rockery.
Miniature daffodils grow from 4 inches to just short of a foot. Varieties Minnow, Toto and Canaliculatus have several flowers on the one stem and are particular favourites of mine. Try growing some in pots in the cold greenhouse as welcome additions to your alpine plants.
Tips on Minature Daffoldils
- Look in spring for successful varieties that you may want to buy for planting this Autumn.
- Buy pots in bloom this spring so you know what you are getting. Deadhead before the seedheads start to develop and feed the bulbs with a high phosphate feed.
- One of the smaller varieties is Bulbocodium Conspicuous, yellow hooped petticoat at 4 inches tall with golden yellow flowers.
