Gardener's World Daffodil Clip
By Tilloubill

A recent Gardener's World featured a specialist daffodil grower who said that with different varieties of daffodils/narcissi, you can have flowers for 5 months of the year.
Can any one tell me the name of the grower or the company?

I don't know where the company was based but the names of the daffodils were:
Minnow: Bellsong: cheerfulness: silver chimes: fragrant breeze and highfield beauty.
If you google maybe you'll find out which one flowers for 5 months, hth!

Hi, I thought it was Taylors Bulbs in Lincs, I saw the clip to.
I don't think that he meant one daffodil variety flowers for 5 months. I think he meant that a number of different varieties planted together could give you flowers from early to late in the season. Look for early flowering to late flowering narcissi/daffs and you might be able to put something together, get it ordered and plant it in the Autumn ready for next year.

Check out Scamp, so far as I know they don't have a web sit but they do have the new, rare, difficult and unusual daffies!
Oh and read this to see what can happen... http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/gardening-blog/2009/apr/15/breeding-daffodils Weep, weep!

I saw this programme and I think the company was named Walker.
