Narcissus opens trumpet-shaped blooms on straight 35–45 cm stems in golden yellow, soft cream and white with orange cups — the first strong colour in the garden each February. They are also the least demanding winter bulb we sell: no soaking, no lifting, no staking, and completely untouched by the stray cats, squirrels and rodents that dig up other bulbs, because every part of a daffodil is bitter to them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eColours in This Mix\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGolden yellow, lemon yellow, cream, pure white with orange cup, white with yellow cup, bicolour yellow-and-orange, and clustered double-flowered forms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBulbs are supplied as a mixed selection, so every pack gives you a spread of colours rather than one shade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGrowing Guide for Pakistan\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mid-October to end of November across the plains. Islamabad, Murree and the northern belt can start from early October.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhich way up:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pointed tip upward, flat root plate down. Daffodil bulbs are unmistakable, so this one is hard to get wrong.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDepth and spacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10–12 cm deep and 10–15 cm apart — deeper than most bulbs. Shallow planting is the usual reason daffodils flop over in flower.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlowers:\u003c\/strong\u003e February to March, holding three to four weeks in a Pakistani spring, and longer in a cool year.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight and sun:\u003c\/strong\u003e 35–45 cm. Full sun in winter — at least five hours of direct light for straight stems and full-size trumpets.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater:\u003c\/strong\u003e Keep the soil evenly moist from planting until the leaves yellow. Stop watering once the foliage dies back or the bulbs will rot through summer.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Anything that drains. Daffodils fail in heavy, waterlogged clay more often than from any pest or disease.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAfter flowering:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cut the spent flower but leave every leaf until it turns yellow. That is when the bulb is feeding itself for next year.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLifting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Optional. Lift and store dry after the foliage dies down, or leave them in the ground in Islamabad and the north, where the summer is kinder.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhen exactly should I plant daffodils in Lahore?\u003c\/strong\u003e Mid-October to late November. Wait for night temperatures to settle around 15–18°C; planting into hot September soil invites rot before the roots ever form.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWill they come back next year?\u003c\/strong\u003e In Islamabad, Murree and the northern areas, yes — they naturalise and multiply. In the hot plains most gardeners treat them as a one-season bulb, because Lahore, Multan and Karachi summers are too warm for the bulb to rest properly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCan I grow them in pots?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, and they are excellent in pots. Use one at least 25 cm deep, plant five to seven bulbs together for a full display, and make sure the drainage hole is open.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDo animals dig them up?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. Every part of a daffodil is bitter and toxic, so cats, squirrels and rodents leave them alone. This is why they are the safest bulb for an open front garden.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAre these bulbs or seeds?\u003c\/strong\u003e These are living bulbs — not seed. They flower in their first season, years sooner than the same plant grown from seed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHow should I store them before planting?\u003c\/strong\u003e Somewhere cool, dry and dark with air around them. A paper bag in a cupboard is ideal; a sealed plastic bag is not, because trapped moisture causes rot.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eNew to bulbs?
