Buttercup Lent Lily Narcissus Pseudonarcissus Bulbs

You are purchasing 25 wild daffodil bulbs. The wild daffodil, also known as the lent lily, is a perennial flowering plant that grows from a bulb. Its pale yellow flowers feature a darker central trumpet. The long, narrow leaves, slightly grayish in color, rise from the base of the stem. Blooming in early spring, the wild daffodil thrives in full sun to partial shade and grows in any soil. It is hardy in USDA Zones 3-10.

The wild daffodil, a member of the Narcissus genus, is a popular spring-flowering bulb. Native to Western Europe, it has become naturalized in many parts of the world, often found in meadows, woodlands, and along roadsides. Its delicate, cheerful flowers are a welcome sight after the long winter months, signaling the arrival of the spring season.

When planted in the fall, the wild daffodil bulbs will develop a strong root system over the winter, allowing them to produce an abundance of blooms the following spring. The bulbs should be planted in well-drained soil, with the pointed end facing upwards, and spaced about 6-8 inches apart. They prefer a location that receives full sun to partial shade, as they will not thrive in deep shade.

Once established, the wild daffodil is a low-maintenance and long-lasting plant. It will readily naturalize, spreading and multiplying over time to create a stunning display of golden flowers. The foliage will die back naturally after flowering, allowing other spring-blooming plants to take center stage.

In addition to their beauty, wild daffodils are also valuable for wildlife. They provide an early source of nectar and pollen for bees, butterflies, and other pollinators as they emerge from winter. The leaves and flowers are also a food source for some small mammals and deer, though the bulbs can be toxic if ingested in large quantities.

Whether planting them in a garden bed, border, or naturalizing them in a meadow, the wild daffodil is a delightful addition to any springtime landscape. Their cheerful blooms and reliable growth habits make them a beloved harbinger of the warmer months to come.
