Flower Record Daffodil (Narcissus). The 'Flower Record' daffodil captivates with its classic silhouette and colorful heart, a touch of warmth in the embrace of spring. Its large, slightly curved white petals form a pure and elegant corolla, while its short, pale yellow cup, finely edged with orangey-red, catches the eye without ever dominating. Abundantly flowering, robust, and very hardy, it is perfect for natural beds, poetic borders, or wildflower meadows, where it returns faithfully each year. It is an ideal choice for those who appreciate daffodils with old-world charm, a delicate appearance yet striking detail. A refined, simple, and personality-filled variety. Size: Wait until the foliage is completely dry before cutting.

Plant daffodils in the fall, before the ground freezes, in loose, well-drained soil. Choose a sunny spot or bright partial shade, where the leaves can receive light during their spring growth. Place the bulbs with the tip pointing upwards, at the depth suitable for their size, then backfill without moving them. Water if the soil is dry to encourage contact with the roots. Planting in small groups helps distribute the bloom throughout the bed. Keep a discreet marker to avoid disturbing the bulbs once the aerial parts have disappeared after their cycle.

After flowering, remove spent flowers while keeping the stems and leaves, which are still green. The foliage allows the bulbs to replenish their reserves before dormancy. Wait until it yellows naturally before cutting it, without tying or braiding it to hide it. During growth, water as needed if the soil dries out significantly, especially for a recent planting or in a container. Allow the clumps to establish themselves and only divide them when they become too crowded or flower less. Daffodils are ornamental plants that are toxic if ingested: keep bulbs separate from edible onions and out of reach of children and pets.

Growing method

Plant daffodils in the fall, before the ground freezes, in loose, well-drained soil. Choose a sunny spot or bright partial shade, where the leaves can receive light during their spring growth. Place the bulbs pointy-end up, at the depth recommended for their size, then backfill without moving them. Water if the soil is dry to encourage contact with the roots. Planting in small groups helps to distribute the blooms throughout the bed. Keep a discreet marker to avoid disturbing the bulbs once the aerial parts have disappeared after their cycle.

Soil and care

The right care,at the right time.

Watering

During growth, water at the base when the soil surface begins to dry out. Take rainfall into account: if the soil remains moist, wait before adding more water. Continue to monitor moisture after flowering as long as the leaves are green, then reduce watering when they naturally yellow. Avoid standing water around the bulbs. In pots, check the potting soil more frequently and allow excess water to drain freely through the drainage holes.

Soil type

Light, humus-rich, well-drained. Observe your site after a rain to identify areas where water remains on the surface for a long time. Work with soil that has dried out: working with soggy soil risks compacting it around the roots. Adapt amendments to the actual soil texture, without systematically adding sand or fertilizer. If you are growing in containers, use an appropriate substrate and ensure that the drainage holes remain clear.

Fertilization

Light organic supplement in the spring. Follow the dosage instructions on your fertilizer packaging and measure the quantity before applying. Take into account compost and other previous applications to avoid over-fertilizing the same plant. Distribute the product according to its instructions; avoid concentrated contact with roots or storage organs. A larger application does not guarantee more abundant flowering.

Daffodils are ornamental plants that are toxic if ingested: keep bulbs separate from food onions and out of reach of children and pets. Over the seasons, observe new shoots, soil moisture, and the condition of the stems. A durable label helps locate the planting during its dormancy. Clean tools after cutting diseased parts and remove debris that decomposes around the base.

Container growing

A garden,within reach.

Container growing requires anticipating the necessary volume for the roots and the plant's final height. Choose a stable pot with drainage holes and a substrate suitable for planting. Leave enough space to respect the recommended depth and spacing, rather than crowding plants to fill the pot immediately. Place the container in the indicated exposure and regularly check for moisture, especially in hot or windy weather. A pot is more exposed to temperature variations than planting directly in the ground. Therefore, from the outset, plan a wintering location compatible with the plant's needs and your region's climate. Plant narcissus in the fall, before the ground freezes, in loose, well-drained soil. Choose full sun or bright partial shade, where the leaves can receive light during their spring growth. Place the bulbs with the tip facing up, at the depth appropriate for their size, then backfill without disturbing them. Water if the soil is dry to encourage root contact. Planting in small groups allows for a more distributed bloom throughout the bed. Keep a discreet marker to avoid disturbing the bulbs once the aerial parts have disappeared after their cycle. In winter, protect the container according to the plant's needs: its roots are more exposed to cold than if planted in the ground.

In goodcompany.

Companion plants

To accompany Narcisse Flower Record, you could consider muscari, crocuses, or tulips. Choose neighboring varieties based on their height, flowering period, and the colors you wish to combine. Above all, ensure their sun exposure and water needs are suitable for the same location. Leave enough space so that leaves don't obscure young shoots and to allow easy access to each plant for maintenance. These pairings are for designing the garden's aesthetic; they do not guarantee protection against pests or diseases. Adjust the arrangement after observing one growing season.

Frequently asked questions

Your questions,answered.

How to successfully plant Narcissus Flower Record?

Plant daffodils in autumn, before the ground freezes, in loose, well-drained soil. Choose a sunny spot or bright partial shade, where the leaves can receive light during their spring growth. Plant the bulbs point up, at the depth recommended for their size, then backfill without disturbing them. Water if the soil is dry to encourage contact with the roots. Planting in small groups helps distribute flowering throughout the bed. Keep a discreet marker to avoid disturbing the bulbs once the aerial parts have disappeared after their cycle.

What kind of light should I provide for Narcisse Flower Record?

The recommended exposure is sun to partial shade. Observe the light in the chosen location in the morning and in the afternoon, as the shade from trees or buildings changes throughout the day. Also consider neighboring plants: their foliage can obscure a young planting as it develops. In a container, place the pot where you can move it if conditions become too hot or too shady. Suitable exposure must go hand in hand with appropriate soil and watering. If you are moving a plant started indoors outdoors, gradually accustom it to garden conditions to avoid too abrupt a transition for the young leaves.

How to adjust watering?

Water according to the actual soil moisture, taking into account rain, heat, and wind. Check below the surface before deciding to water again: soil that is dry on the surface may still be moist at the root level. Direct water to the base of the plant and let it penetrate, without keeping the plant in saturated soil. Containers generally require more frequent checks because they dry out faster. Make sure their drainage holes remain clear and empty any water from saucers. Also, adapt care to the plant's cycle: active growth and a dormant period do not require the same amount of water.

What to plan for container gardening?

Container gardening requires anticipating the volume needed for the roots and the plant's final height. Choose a stable pot with drainage holes and a suitable planting medium. Leave enough space to respect recommended depth and spacing, rather than overcrowding plants to immediately fill the pot. Place the container in the indicated exposure and regularly check the moisture, especially in hot or windy weather. A pot is more exposed to temperature variations than planting directly in the ground. Therefore, plan for an overwintering location from the start that is compatible with the plant's needs and your region's climate.

What aftercare should I plan for after the growing season?

After flowering, remove faded flowers while keeping the stems and leaves that are still green. The foliage allows the bulbs to replenish their reserves before dormancy. Wait until it yellows naturally before cutting it, without tying or braiding it to hide it. During growth, water as needed if the soil dries out significantly, especially for recent plantings or those in containers. Allow the clumps to establish themselves and only divide them when they become too crowded or flower less. Daffodils are ornamental plants that are toxic if ingested: keep the bulbs separate from food onions and out of reach of children and animals.
