Narcissus ‘Jetfire’
Daffodils flower early in the season, bringing cheer to the garden when little else is in flower. Some cultivars flower as early as January, while others flower in late-March to April. By choosing carefully you can have daffodils flowering continually in your garden for up to four months.
Narcissus ‘Jetfire’ is a short-flowering daffodil, bearing bright yellow petals with orange trumpets. It’s perfect for growing in rockeries and containers for a cheerful early spring display. It makes an interesting cut flower.
For best results grow in moist but well-drained soil in full sun to partial shade. Give plants a potash-rich feed after flowering and leave the foliage to fully die down. Mulch annually with well-rotted compost or manure.
