The bulbocodium, or Hoop Petticoat daffodil is in culture within living memory. But she never grew out to a really successful in the garden bulb. It just is slightly too cold in the Northern European gardens for the species bulbocodium so they hardly come back the second year after planting. But daffoholics and breeders have done their utmost to improve them. And Oxford Gold from the American breeder Walter Blom is such an improvement. He bred the bulbocodium with a floriferous species jonquilla and the result is turbo bulbocodium. Large flowers with a bright colour that provide your garden or pot with a breath of spring.

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.
