Fine foliage that dies back neatly

'Yellow Cheerfulness' is the yellow sister of the white 'Cheerfulness'. Each stem carries several small double flowers in soft butter yellow with a more strongly coloured centre. It has a sweet scent and flowers late, extending the daffodil season in the garden.

About this variety

'Yellow Cheerfulness' is a traditional variety that is once again in demand among florists. Two to four small double flowers in soft butter yellow open on each stem. The centre is a slightly deeper yellow. The scent is sweet and pleasant. Because it flowers late, it bridges the gap between the early daffodils and the tulips.

At about 35–45 cm tall, it suits borders, pots and large containers on the terrace. It can also be naturalised in a lawn, as its fine foliage dies back neatly after flowering. Plant it with the white 'Cheerfulness', blue grape hyacinths or late purple tulips.

It is ideal for bouquets, where the small flowers look cheerful and smell lovely. Voles and deer usually leave daffodils alone. The variety is long-lived and multiplies reliably in the right spot. If you plant both 'Cheerfulness' varieties together, you will have a fragrant bed in white and yellow in late April, with plenty of flowers for cutting.

Planting

Plant the bulbs from September to December, tip upwards, 10–15 cm deep and 10–15 cm apart. A sunny to partly shaded spot with well-drained soil is ideal. In a lawn, scatter the bulbs loosely. In pots, make sure there is good drainage.

Care

Snip off faded flowers so the plant does not put energy into seed. Leave the foliage until it yellows, as it prepares next year's flowers. You can divide dense clumps after a few years. Daffodils are poisonous and their sap harms other cut flowers, so stand freshly cut stems in water on their own for a few hours first.
