The Sunny Side Up daffodil is a magnificent variety with large, lemon-yellow/creamy-white flowers that sport split cups. It blooms in early spring, pleasing the eye especially when combined with deep blue grape hyacinths and hyacinths. This versatile bulb flower wonderfully adorns spring flower beds, but can also grow in containers, or in large patches in open areas. Spectacular flowers of the presented daffodil attract attention no matter where they appear. Their subtle, sweet fragrance that gets stronger the closer you get to the plant attracts pollinating insects. The Sunny Side Up daffodil is a great a cut flower. Its ornamental, frilly flowers can be arranged in bouquets that will adorn interiors. Narcissus bulbs contain poisonous substances, called alkaloids, that repel pests and rodents. Take advantage of that feature and plant daffodils with other bulbous plants to keep them healthy and safe.

Sunny or partially shady situations suit daffodils best. Plant their bulbs in autumn, in September and October, into moist, yet well-drained soil. Water them abundantly during the season, preferably once a week. As soon as you notice that the flowers tend to grow smaller, it is time to transplant the bulbs after the season. Dig out bulbs in summer, after the leaves have dried, clean them and plant again in autumn on a new site. Cover it with a layer of mulch or dry leaves.
