A visual and practical guide to the many faces of Narcissus

Naomi Slade’s guide places daffodils in both horticultural and cultural context, covering the history of the Narcissus genus alongside growing and care information. The book highlights the range within a flower often associated with yellow trumpets: solid hues and combinations of salmon, pink, peach, orange, and white, including ruffled forms. It also traces their uses across garden beds, containers, cut-flower arrangements, bouquets, and forced-bloom gifts. Georgianna Lane’s photography is central to the book’s survey of varieties, making the volume as much a visual catalog of daffodil diversity as a home-and-garden reference.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Gardeners planning spring bulb plantings or container displays
  • Flower enthusiasts interested in daffodil varieties and Narcissus history
  • Home florists seeking ideas for daffodils as cut flowers and arrangements

Book overview

The quintessential heralds of spring, jaunty daffodils are as diverse and fascinating as they are adored.

In Daffodils: Beautiful Varieties for Home and Garden, leading garden writer Naomi Slade explores the intriguing history of the genus Narcissus along with its growing and care. Renowned floral photographer Georgianna Lane reveals the breadth of daffodil varieties in a range of breathtaking solid colors and multitoned and ruffled combinations of salmon, pink, peach, orange, and white.

Daffodils are easy to grow as garden plants or container specimens, and their bulbs multiply year after year. Indoors they add brightness and cheer as cut flowers in home arrangements, wedding bouquets, and even large-scale event decor. Plant bulbs fall through January if the soil is workable, for the most joyful spring blooms ever! Daffodils are a popular choice for bouquets, corsages, bridal bouquets, centerpieces, and forced-bloom gifts.

Gracing springtime flower beds and grassy meadows alike, these cheerful trumpet flowers are plants of poetic inspiration and mythic renown, rich with perfume and infused with optimism.
