Tiny Bubbles
In the wine
Make me happy
Make me feel fine
Tiny Bubbles
Make me warm all over
With a feeling that I'm going to love you until the end of time
So, here's the golden moon
And here's the silver sea
But mostly, here's a toast to you and me.
When I read the sweet name of this mischievous Daffodil I had to smile. After all, she was won by the couple Becky and Brent Heath, two good Daffodil friends from Virginia in America. Becky's great hobby is singing and she does that almost always when she walks among the Daffodils. I have often visited them, and as if it were yesterday I can remember Becky singing this song. After singing the first line Brent joined in and everyone who could hear it became happy.
Becky and Brent asked us to plant their seedlings in our garden to see if any daffodil growers were interested in including them in their assortment. That's how Tiny Bubbles ended up in our garden under seedling number 7 HH. As soon as it was a few meters away, an alert grower picked it out, and it ended up back at our nursery because the growers couldn't find a market for it. We can't sell Tiny Bubbles, the buyers say it looks too much like Tete a Tete .
Nothing could be further from the truth, the only similarity is that it is also yellow. Tiny Bubbles blooms much more abundantly and its flowers last much longer and are oh so much more graceful than those of the Tete a Tete. But it distinguishes itself above all by its wonderful scent. A truly wonderful Daffodil for pots, in the rock garden, planted loosely in a natural garden or at the front of the border.
The beautiful Tiny Bubbles song text, sung by Don Ho, dates back to the sixties and if you google it, don't be afraid that you will get Heavy Metal music in your ears. What a nice name for this charming Narcissus.

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.
