“Just look—daffodils are already flowering!” I am sure many garden lovers have said these words when they spotted daffodils blooming along the roadside in January, or sometimes even as early as December. With the mild winters we have experienced in recent years, we can often enjoy daffodils remarkably early.
It is ‘Rijnveld’s Early Sensation’ that always flowers so soon. In a colder winter, it may not begin blooming until February, but one thing is certain: every year, it is the first daffodil to remind us that spring is on its way.
You may also like to know that this daffodil is more than eighty years old. That may not sound especially important, but to me it is a clear sign of quality. When a flower bulb has remained in cultivation for so long, it usually means it is a reliable and trouble-free variety. Had it suffered from serious shortcomings, it would have disappeared from the scene long ago.

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.
