Daffodils are among the most famous harbingers of spring, providing a burst of colour that symbolises the season's sense of renewal and optimism. They are common in many gardens and are prized for their vibrant yellow hues and distinctive trumpet-shaped crown. There are 13 types of daffodils, and each is characterised by different attributes relating to petal shape, colour, size and flowering time. These range from the classic yellow trumpet to the small but striking flowers of the Cyclamineus daffodils.

Daffodils are perennials, which means they grow again year after year, providing a constant flow of colour and life to a garden. However, unlike other perennial flowers, they don't bloom constantly, but have a certain flowering period, which generally falls in the spring months, usually between March and April, although some varieties can extend this period. Their lifespan may be short, but the intense beauty they offer is worth the wait.

Beyond their vibrant and sunny appearance, they serve several key purposes. First, daffodils are great for biodiversity, providing valuable early nectar for bees and other pollinators. They are also toxic to deer and rodents, which can be a significant benefit in preserving your garden.

In addition, daffodils are very versatile, so they can be grown in borders, containers or even in the ground, providing endless opportunities for garden design. They also have the ability to adapt to a wide range of climates and soils. This adaptability, along with their hardy nature, makes them an excellent choice for both novice gardeners and experienced horticulturists. At the same time, the cultural significance of daffodils cannot be ignored as they have long been a symbol of new beginnings and are often associated with the arrival of spring. For example, in Wales, the daffodil is the national flower, while in China, it is a symbol of good luck.
