Now that the 'official' time to plant daffodil and narcissus bulbs has passed, sacks of a single variety are extremely good value in garden centres. They are a very worthwhile investment if you have the time and space to plant them, as most daffodils return year after year, for example the ultra-reliable N.'Ice Follies'. Alternatively, a mix of varieties will give a lovely bowl of daffodils - 'like a poem' as Anne at her first 'At Home' describes them. If you plant both early- and late-flowering varieties it's possible to have many weeks of cheerful flowers next spring. Peter Nyssen always has a good range.
