These daffodils are both scented and multi-headed, so each flower stem will typically have 3-4 deliciously scented flowers. They make excellent cut flowers and you will not need many stems to fill a vase. All of these varieties have been awarded the prestigious Award of Garden Merit by the Royal Horticultural Society for their garden worthiness.
In each collection you will receive the following:
10 × Narcissus 'Yellow Cheerfulness'
Stems hold up to 4 fragrant, double primrose yellow flowers among the narrow, strap-shaped leaves. These double narcissus look great in small drifts in a mixed or shrub border. Grows to 40cm tall.
10 × Narcissus 'Sir Winston Churchill'
Loose clusters of creamy white, double flowers, which are each flecked with saffron orange, top the upright stems in spring. Their slightly ruffled appearance is enchanting and they have a heady, sweet perfume too, so are ideal for adding to freshly cut bouquets. This is one of the best scented daffodils and the fragrance can be admired many feet away. Grows to 40cm tall.
10 × Narcissus 'Bridal Crown'
Forming in loose clusters at the top of the stems, the 3cm wide white flowers have a central ruff of orange-yellow petals, resembling an ember-like eye. The scent of these blooms is sweet and strong, which makes them perfect for patio pots, lining a pathway, or cutting. Grows to 40cm tall. - Garden care: Wearing gloves plant bulbs 10-15cm (4-6in) deep from late summer to early autumn. After flowering feed with a balanced fertiliser, deadhead and allow the leaves to die back naturally.

- Hello. Do you think this collection would be best planted separately in clumps by variety, or all the bulbs mixed in together and planted randomly? Thanks!

Hello, It is really a matter of personal preference as they will look good either planted separately or in a mixed clump.

Bulb blindness
Bulbs produce lovely foliage but no flowers. Either no buds at all appear or those that do are dry and virtually empty of petals. Daffodils (Narcissi) are usually the worst affects, especially multi-headed or double forms.

Spring bulbs, such as daffodils and hyacinths, can be planted whenever the soil conditions allow. As a rough guide, cover them with about twice as much soil as the bulb is deep: so that a 5cm (2in) deep bulb would need a 15cm (6in) deep hole so that it
