Daffodils
Animals leave your daffodils alone.
A daffodil contains a substance that rabbits, mice and deer find unpleasant, and that same sap makes other flowers in a vase droop faster. So give a fresh daffodil a few hours in its own water first before adding it to the rest. It flowers in March and April and comes back fuller every year.

Hand-selected for quality and size.
Plant from September to November, preferably early, because daffodil bulbs keep poorly above ground. Set them 10 to 15 cm deep and about 10 cm apart, in sun or partial shade. They also do well in a pot, especially the small varieties.
After flowering, leave the foliage for at least six weeks, even if it looks untidy. Don't braid it and don't mow: through that foliage the bulb recharges for next year.
A small group naturally becomes a clump, and that clump gets thicker every year. If it flowers less after four or five years, lift the bulbs and replant them a little further along. That is how you slowly fill the whole garden.
