Narcissus 'Firebrand'

 

Daffodil 'Firebrand' (Small-cupped)

A harbinger of spring with many different types of these bright flowers, they come in dwarf varieties as well as the standard type and are easy to grow. They come in many shades of yellow and white, they all have outside petals and a cup in the middle often having the cup a different colour or shade to the petals. You can change the colour of daffodil by planting the bulb in a beetroot, this turns it pink, it does work, I tried it on a pale bulb and it became a pale shade of pink. They naturalise easily.'Firebrand' is an old variety of daffodil, and is a member of the Small Cupped group. It has star shaped flowers, which open with creamy-white petals which become more white with age. The centre is a fiery orange-red cup. New:
