Daffodil Bulbs
There are few flowers that herald the onset of Spring as effectively as the vibrant, colorful Daffodil. Grown in large swaths, Daffodil bulbs are easy to grow and brighten up any garden setting, from pathways and beds to open areas, woodlands, pots and more.
Since Gee Tee Bulb company began in 1961, daffodil bulbs have been our bulkiest and biggest seller. Our warehouse is based right in the heart of the daffodil growing region. It is wonderful sight to be amongst endless fields of yellow and white flowers. There are only a small number of growers and we are lucky enough to have been dealing with many of them for decades. We are proud to be able to support the UK farmers even though the industry has been in decline. You might notice in supermarkets; all of the cut daffodils will be UK grown, a large percentage of those come from our surrounding fields.
We have a whole warehouse dedicated to storing over 100 tonnes of daffodil bulbs, all locally grown. A 25Kg net is perhaps the best value to the amount of bulbs you get in a bag. They are sized 12/14 and you can get around 450 bulbs to a 25Kg net, we also sell by the tonne.
Why grow Daffodils?
These hardy perennials bloom in late Winter to early Spring, and can tolerate a wide range of soils, although are best grown in moderately fertile, well-drained areas that remain moist during the growing season.
You can extend the blooming period by planting different varieties. They begin as early as February and can finish as late as April.
While some dwindle and die out if left in the soil, daffodil bulbs should thrive and multiply. After four to five years well-fed bulbs will have formed many new growth offsets. We call this naturalising because the bulbs will form their own natural clumps within the garden.
Lift these in early Summer when their foliage starts to yellow and divide the the offsets from the parent bulbs by prising them apart, and replanting immediately.
