Daffodil Collections (Narcissus)

 
One of the most difficult parts of ordering bulbs is choosing the perfect companions to grow a complementary display. To help, we created our daffodil collections! Inside each one are handpicked products chosen for their colour, texture, and more, helping you grow the ultimate spring display for less.   
 
If you’re looking to grow a large display while on a budget, then we highly recommend our Jonquilla Narcissus Collection. Jonquilla narcissi are also known as the multi-headed daffodil, helping create a fuller display with fewer bulbs. Or perhaps, if you prefer a classic, then our Narcissus Tete-a-Tete Collection, will certainly be up your street!

FAQs:

  • What are Daffodil & Narcissus collections?
    Daffodil & Narcissus collections are pre-selected packs of daffodil varieties, grouped together for their complementary colours, flowering times, or garden uses. These curated sets are designed to make planning your spring display easy and effective.
  • What types of collections are available at J. Parker’s?
    Parker’s offers a variety of collections, including Mixed Naturalising Collections, Fragrant Collections like our Narcissus Fragrant Jonquilla Collection, and Miniature Daffodil Collections such as the RHS AGM Dwarf/Compact Narcissus Collection. Each collection is chosen to give you a balanced mix of heights, bloom times, and flower shapes.
  • Why should I choose a daffodil collection instead of individual varieties?
    Collections take the guesswork out of planning. They are designed for colour harmony, staggered flowering, or a specific theme (such as fragrance or suitability for pots). They’re ideal if you want an impressive display without selecting varieties one by one.
  • Are your daffodil collections suitable for naturalising?
    Yes, many of J. Parker’s daffodil collections are created with naturalising in mind, especially those labelled as naturalising collections. These include hardy, reliable varieties that return year after year and gently multiply over time.
  • Do your collections include early, mid, and late-flowering daffodils?
    Yes, several of our collections are designed for succession planting, including early, mid, and late bloomers. This helps you enjoy a long-lasting display of daffodils throughout spring.
  • Can I plant daffodil collections in pots and containers?
    Absolutely. Many of our collections include compact or dwarf varieties ideal for pots, window boxes, and patio planters. Check the product descriptions to see which collections are best suited for container growing.
  • Do any of your daffodil collections include fragrant varieties?
    Yes - look out for our Fragrant Daffodil Collections, which feature strongly scented varieties like Jonquilla and Tazetta types. These are perfect for planting near seating areas, paths, or doorways where their scent can be enjoyed.
  • How many bulbs are included in your collections?
    The number of bulbs varies by collection and pack size. J. Parker’s offers a range of options, often including value packs for larger planting areas. Each collection page clearly lists the number of bulbs provided.
  • Are these collections suitable for beginners?
    Yes, our curated collections are ideal for gardeners of all experience levels, especially if you’re new to planting bulbs. They’re chosen for their reliability, ease of care, and strong garden performance.
  • Can I combine collections with other spring bulbs?
    Yes, daffodil collections work beautifully when combined with other spring-flowering bulbs like tulips, muscari, crocuses, or hyacinths. Mixing collections allows you to create a more diverse and textured planting scheme.

FAQs:

  • What are Daffodil & Narcissus mixtures?
    Daffodil & Narcissus mixtures are carefully blended packs of different daffodil varieties, selected to provide a mix of colours, shapes, heights, or flowering times. These mixes offer an easy way to create bold, varied spring displays without needing to plan combinations yourself.
  • Which daffodil mixtures are available at J. Parker’s?
    At J. Parker’s, we offer a variety of daffodil mixtures, including yellow-only mixes, bi-coloured blends, and extended flowering collections designed for colour from early spring into late spring. Look out for options like Mixed Naturalising Daffodils and Miniature Daffodil Mixes.
  • Why should I choose a daffodil mixture instead of single varieties?
    Daffodil mixtures provide instant variety and hassle-free planting. Many are designed for succession flowering, giving continuous blooms over several weeks. Mixtures also make it easier to fill larger spaces without needing to choose individual types.
  • Are the bulbs in daffodil mixtures suitable for naturalising?
    Yes - many of the mixtures at J. Parker’s are selected with naturalising in mind. Collections like the Mixed Naturalising Daffodils are ideal for planting in grassy areas, meadows, or under trees, where they can return year after year.
  • Can I plant daffodil mixtures in pots and containers?
    Absolutely. Daffodil mixtures, especially those featuring miniature varieties, work well in pots and patio planters. For best results, plant bulbs close together in a deep, well-draining container.
  • When will daffodil mixture bulbs bloom?
    The bloom period depends on the varieties included in the mix. Many of J. Parker’s mixtures are designed to cover the entire spring season from March through May, with a combination of early, mid, and late-flowering varieties.
  • Do daffodil mixtures include fragrant varieties?
    Some daffodil mixtures may include fragrant types like Jonquilla or Tazetta varieties, but not all. Check the product descriptions for details on which mixtures contain scented blooms.
  • Are daffodil mixtures good for cutting?
    Yes - many taller varieties included in mixed packs are perfect for cut flowers. For cutting, choose mixtures that include Trumpet, Large Cupped, or Double daffodils, which tend to have stronger stems and longer vase life.
  • How many bulbs are included in your daffodil mixtures?
    The quantity varies depending on the pack size and mix type. J. Parker’s offers a range of pack sizes, often including bulk packs for larger planting projects. Product pages specify how many bulbs are included.
  • Do you offer mixtures with other spring bulbs alongside daffodils?
    Yes - alongside pure daffodil mixtures, J. Parker’s also offers spring bulb collections that may include daffodils combined with other bulbs like tulips, crocuses, muscari, or alliums. These are great for creating mixed displays with contrasting shapes and colours.
