Daffodils

Out and about I have seen combinations of white and yellow daffodils along the roadside and hedgerows. What varieties are they likely to be? I might try something similar at home for next year.

Hi Jack ,

I presume you mean true Daffodils ( that is having a large trumpet rather than a smaller cup ), these are the most common varieties..............

All white ------

Mount Hood *
Empress of Ireland
White Dream
Broughshane

All yellow -----

Unsurpassable*
Dutch master
Bestseller
King Alfred*
Marie
Golden Harvest*
Tamara
St Keverne

White perianth ( the outer petals ) with Lemon trumpets........

Bravoure
Goblet
Ellen
Foresight
Holland Sensation

The * means that they are some of the best and most reliable Daffodils you can grow.

The thing you would have to check is when they flower as Daffodils can flower from January through to May,, so presumably you would want to match two varieties that flower at the same time.

I grow probably 40 to 50 different varieties of Daffodils and Narcissi that flower continuously from January through to May or even early June.

This year I plan to extend the season by getting the August to January flowering varieties.
