"She is the just as pretty, if not prettier sister of A Million Kisses. To keep her name at the same wavelength of her sister’s, I named her Besame Mucho. Besame Mucho is Spanish for ‘kiss me a lot’. Now you should not think that I speak Spanish fluently, I just enjoy listening to Andrea Brocelli from time to time. And Andrea can sing this historically old song like no other. Fun fact: the story goes that this song was written in Mexico by a stunningly beautiful girl, who had never been kissed. She was so beautiful, nobody dared to kiss her. But I am wandering off, I should write about the Daffodil. You might wonder which one of the two sisters, Besame Mucho and A Million Kisses, is the best. I will be honest with you; I don’t know either.
The one day I think to see that one flowers richer, but then I find the other more beautiful, and the next day it is the exact opposite. I simply cannot choose, and I could not say which one will be the best for your garden. If you are hesitating as well, you might have to do like me, and take both. Both Daffodils grow quick and flower extravagantly, so the chance is small that any of them will disappoint you."

Daffodil planting and care
Plant daffodil bulbs in autumn in a sunny or lightly shaded position with well-drained soil. Loosen the soil thoroughly, then plant the bulbs with the pointed end facing upwards at a depth of approximately two to three times the height of the bulb. Leave around 5 to 10 cm between the bulbs.
Water after planting if the soil is dry. Avoid leaving the bulbs in persistently wet soil, as this can cause them to rot. In a suitable position, daffodils can return for many years and gradually multiply.
Read our complete guide to when and how to plant and care for daffodil bulbs.
You can order daffodil bulbs from us from early spring onwards for the next planting season. We take care of the proper storage and only ship the bulbs when the autumn planting season begins. This means you receive fresh bulbs at the right time for planting and a strong start in the garden.
Daffodil bulbs are planted in autumn, before the ground freezes. They will then flower in spring.
For a full display, Fluwel recommends around 40 daffodil bulbs per square metre. For miniature daffodils such as Tête-à-Tête, around 80 bulbs per square metre can be used.
Yes. Daffodils are reliable perennial bulbs and can continue growing in the same spot for many years. In a suitable location, they can also naturalise well.
This varies somewhat by variety. Daffodils grow well in sunny locations, while several varieties are also suitable for partial shade, so it is best to check the requirements of the individual variety.
Fluwel recommends removing the faded flowers after flowering. This allows the plant’s energy to go back into the bulb and helps prepare it for flowering again in the following season.
