NARCISSUS (DAFFODILS)

Our company started in the 1940s when Alec Gray began breeding dwarf narcissus and today we are the holders of the National Collection of miniature daffodils which is based upon his collection and many of the finest of the more recent miniatures.

Daffodils are easy to grow in any sunny border and many are suitable for naturalising in grass. They are also useful planted under shrubs and deciduous trees for early spring colour. Here we give some ideas of where to find daffodils for special places.
