Daffodil Misty Glen

After flowering, you can remove only the spent flower head with the ovary so that the plant does not exhaust itself by producing seeds. Never cut off the leaves! Let them turn yellow and wither naturally. During this time, the leaves return nutrients to the bulb, which ensures abundant flowering the following year.

This amazing cultivar blooms in the spring, during April and May. It is a stunning, all-white daffodil. The petals are slightly pointed, and the central trumpet (corona) is long, elongated, and attractively serrated at the edges. The plant grows to a height of 35 to 45 cm and has deep green leaves.

Daffodils are definitely not edible and are toxic to both humans and pets. They contain alkaloids (especially lycorine, which is most concentrated in the bulb) that cause nausea and other health problems if ingested. Therefore, keep them out of reach of dogs, cats, and small children.

Yes, the flowers of 'Misty Glen' daffodils are strongly aromatic and will fill your garden with a wonderful, fresh fragrance. At the same time, they are very attractive to bees and other early pollinators, providing them with a valuable source of nectar early in the spring when many other plants are not yet in bloom.

This cultivar is generally completely disease-free and very hardy. Thanks to the natural toxicity of daffodils, they are reliably avoided by rodents (mice, voles) and deer, which is a huge advantage compared to, for example, the much more vulnerable tulips.

Yes, Misty Glen is excellent for cutting. Its long, sturdy stems combined with pure white flowers make for a beautiful spring bouquet. It is best to cut the flowers in the morning when the buds are partially open. However, this variety is not suitable for drying.

They thrive best in soil with the following characteristics:

• Loamy and humus-rich
• Well-draining

Heavy and permanently waterlogged soils are not suitable, as the bulbs could begin to rot. If you have clay soil, we recommend mixing in some sand before planting to improve drainage.

The Misty Glen daffodil prefers a sunny location or partial shade. In direct sun, flowering will be most intense, but in light partial shade, the blooms will last longer and will not fade as quickly.

Daffodils propagate by daughter bulbs and form very lush clumps in the flowerbed over the years. If, after several years (about 3 to 5 years), you notice that the clump is flowering less or the flowers are smaller, you can carefully dig up the bulbs in the summer (once the leaves have died back), divide them, and replant them in the autumn in new spots with plenty of space.

The ideal time for planting is in the autumn, specifically during the months of September, October, and November. The bulbs need enough time to establish roots before the arrival of the first heavy frosts. We supply the largest bulbs available, which guarantees you a strong plant and abundant flowering in the very first season.

Most certainly! Daffodils are very low-maintenance, long-lived perennials, making them absolutely ideal for beginners. Once you plant the bulbs correctly in the autumn, you essentially don't need to look after them, and they will delight you every spring with a profusion of beautiful white flowers.
