Organic daffodils

Organic daffodil bulbs

Narcissus , also known as the daffodil or Easter flower, is a beautiful flower that symbolizes hope, renewal and beauty. These cheerful flowers belong to the Amaryllidaceae family and are characterized by their striking flower shape and vibrant colors.

The daffodil usually has a long flower stem and produces one or more flowers per flower stem. The petals vary in shape and color depending on the species. They may be known for their trumpet-shaped petals, wide calyxes or double-flowered flowers in various shades of yellow, white, orange, pink or even bi-colored.

The scent of daffodils is also characteristic. They often emit a sweet and pleasant scent that adds to the overall charm of this bulbous plant. Our best scented varieties are the Narcissus jonquilla 'New Baby' and the Narcissus poeticus 'Recurvus'.

Another notable feature of daffodils is that they often bloom in early spring, making them one of the first signs of approaching spring. They herald the end of winter and bring with them a sense of joy and hope. There are species that bloom from January and in May there are still species that need a little more warmth to bloom. This is why we also recommend mixing daffodil varieties together and planting them in one large group.

Location

Daffodils are relatively easy to grow and thrive in a variety of climates. They prefer well-drained soil and a sunny to semi-shaded position. Plant the bulbs in the autumn for beautiful flowering in the spring.

Cut flowers

Daffodils are also excellent flowers to cut for a vase. The flowers last a long time. Just don't combine them with tulips in one vase. It is generally not recommended to put daffodils and tulips together in the same vase, because daffodils contain a substance that accelerates the aging process of other flowers. This substance is called "narcissine" and is found in the stems and leaves of daffodils.

When daffodils are placed in a vase together with other flowers, such as tulips, the released narcissine can contaminate the water. This can cause the other flowers to wilt more quickly, lose their petals and generally have a shorter lifespan.

Therefore, it is best to arrange daffodils separately from other flowers in a separate vase or to combine them with flowers that are not sensitive to the influence of narcissine. This way you can fully enjoy the beauty and longevity of both the daffodils and the other flowers.

Toxic

Although daffodils are beautiful to look at, it is important to know that they contain toxic components, especially in the bulb. These toxins can cause irritation to humans and animals, so it is wise to keep them out of the reach of children and pets.

  • There is a wide range of flower bulbs that bloom in spring and mark the beginning of spring! In early spring you can enjoy beautiful flowers such as winter aconites, crocuses, daffodils, muscaris, star of Bethlehem and wood hyacinths. As spring progresses, the tulips and ornamental onions will take over the show and fill your garden with their display of colour.

    Benefits of organic flowerbulbs

    When you choose organic flowerbulbs you can be sure that no chemicals and pesticides end up in the garden. These pesticides are harmful to bees and ensure that bees can no longer find their way to a nesting site. As a result, more and more bee species have been added to the red list in recent years. Together we can do something about this!

    Important for wild bees

    Did you know that there are wild bees that lay eggs in their nests that hatch in early spring? These newborn insect helpers immediately start looking for food in the environment. There are also insects that have hibernated and are in dire need of a hearty breakfast; the blooming flowers where nectar and pollen can be found! Just after winter there is little green and edible food available for these insects and planting early flowering flower bulbs ensures that there is food and the insects can gain strength for the summer to come.

    Tips for a flowery garden

    Plant different types of flowers, each with its own flowering time so that flowers bloom throughout the spring and there is food for bees and other insects in the garden. Do you also want to arrange your garden/box in such a way that you can enjoy flowers and the bees throughout the spring? Feel free to send us a message or ask us at the market stall, we are happy to help you! Also aim for more biodiversity in the garden and enjoy the first flowers and colors in the garden after the cold and dark winter!
