After I put the spring flowering bulbs on the Fluwel website in the spring, I always take the time to write texts for them.
A little explanation about the new varieties or a nice story is always appreciated and motivates our customers to try something new. But about Tropic Isle I would better not write anything at all because a good three weeks after it first became available it was almost sold out.
Perhaps our customers think exactly the same as Eric Breed always says when they see this Daffodil called Tropic Isle: 'if only you were there' and that is why you want her in your garden so much.
Anyway, Tropic Isle is fortunately a Narcissus from our own nursery so I could increase the stock a bit. But if the enthusiasm for this Narcissus really remains this great I might have to pull her back for a year next year to let the bunch grow a bit again. No problem, I am incredibly happy that Tropic Isle is being received so well and actually I understand why; she is just beautiful.

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.
