Plant these 60 bulbs of English daffodil (Narcissus triandrus 'Thalia') from September through November, and you will enjoy white flowers from April through May. Daffodils herald the arrival of spring and return year after year; they spread to form increasingly larger clumps. Suitable for borders, lawns, under trees and shrubs, and in pots. Bulb size 10/12 indicates how many centimetres the bulbs measure around; a larger bulb contains more reserves for flowering.
