Narcissus The Foxtrott, 6 WP, Jan de Winter, 2007
A particularly lovely little daffodil that is on the verge of making its mark as an all-round garden and pot daffodil. It has a lovely name too, named after the old-fashioned classical dance from which the Quickstep later evolved. However, there is absolutely nothing old-fashioned or classic about ‘The Foxtrott’; in fact, it’s as modern as they come. For decades, daffodil breeders have been searching for a daffodil of this size and colour that can also be grown well and healthily. Many have gone before ‘The Foxtrott’, but they have all faded from the scene. ‘The Foxtrott’ is a tough little thing; she’ll see it through, and one day, far from here, she too will be considered old-fashioned and classic.

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.
