Daffodil Love Call Bulbs

Bring an elegant and distinctive touch of spring colour to your garden with Daffodil Love Call. This eye-catching split-corona daffodil produces beautiful creamy-white petals surrounding a spectacular, heavily ruffled orange corona. The unusual butterfly-like flower form creates a striking contrast that makes this variety particularly attractive when planted in groups.

Growing Daffodil Love Call Bulbs

Plant Daffodil Love Call bulbs in autumn, preferably from September onwards, so they have plenty of time to establish roots before winter. Choose a position in full sun or partial shade with fertile, well-drained soil. Good drainage is particularly important because bulbs can suffer in persistently waterlogged ground.

Plant each bulb at approximately two to three times its own height, with the pointed growing tip facing upwards. Allow sufficient space between bulbs for them to establish and gradually form attractive clumps. For the strongest visual impact, plant several bulbs together in groups or drifts.

After flowering, remove the spent flower heads but allow the foliage to die back naturally. The leaves help replenish the bulb’s energy reserves for the following season. Once established, Narcissus Love Call can return year after year, making it a dependable choice for long-lasting spring displays.

Where to Plant Love Call Daffodils

These versatile spring flowering bulbs are ideal for mixed borders, cottage gardens, rockeries, lawns, woodland-style planting and containers. Their white petals and vivid orange centres combine particularly well with other spring bulbs, creating colourful and contrasting displays.
