Narcissus Cheerfulness

Narcissus Cheerfulness is a delightful white double flowering daffodil. Each stem produces multiple small flowers. There are flashes of bright yellow around the tightly formed ball of petals in the centre. Narcissus Cheerfulness are a scented narcissus with long stems. So, although the flowers might be a little smaller than your usual double daffodil the multiple heads make it a vibrant narcissus bulb to plant.

These daffodil bulbs are grown in Lincolnshire near to our warehouse. We have known many of the farmers in the region for decades and we are proud to support one of the few remaining flower crops in the region of ‘South Holland’.

Planting Narcissus bulbs

Plant narcissus bulbs in autumn, approx. 12cm deep, slightly deeper in light soils or grass. Narcissus bulbs prefer well-drained soil that is moist in the growing season in spring, in full sun or light dappled shade. You can expect to see blooms in late March into April.

Narcissus bulbs are easy to grow and last for many years. They are a naturalising bulb, leave them undisturbed they will begin to spread naturally. They benefit from being deadheaded as the flowers fade, and allow the leaves to die down naturally so that the bulbs have nutrients to come back the following year.

You can propagate narcissus bulbs by division when clumps have formed. Gently lift and separate bulbs, to replant as the leaves fade in early summer, or in early autumn before new roots are produced.
