In the year 2002 I got a few bulbs of this beautiful Daffodil from the famous bulb expert Kees Breed. He had Androcles already for many years in his vast collection and it surprised him that the commercial grower did not take notice to this variety.
I loved the beauty of this Daffodil and asked Mr Breed if I could try to build a stock. He would put some aside for me, in the fall I was welcome to collect them. Mr Breed was right, Androcles is as well for the gardener as the bulb grower a nice and good growing Daffodil.

Daffodil bulbs
I hear you think now, there is Carlos again with his Daffodils, isn’t he a little bit too much in love with Daffodil. Yes, I am, no problem to admit that but I really think the Daffodil is one of the most reliable bulbs.
Planting Daffodils:
Daffodils are planted in the fall (when the leaves fall from the trees), because they bloom in the spring. Make sure you plant them before the frost.
Before planting, loosen the soil well and mix in a special fertilizer for flower bulbs. Dig a trench a few centimetres deep, keeping a distance of about 5 to 10 centimetres between the bulbs to prevent overcrowding. Place the bulbs point-side up and press them firmly into the soil. Water them lightly immediately after planting, and continue to water regularly. Finally, make sure the soil is well-drained, as daffodils do not tolerate overly wet conditions.
Caring for daffodils
After flowering, you should cut off the withered flowers so that all the energy goes to the bulb. The bulb can then provide extra beautiful flowers in the following growing season. In this way, you ensure that you can enjoy your daffodils for years to come.
