for the first time i got seeds from one of my daffodils , just noticed the top had come off the green pod left after the flowers gone , most have withered up and died but this one has shiny black seeds in it 28 in all , advice please , do i plant them now or wait till the end of the year .
I'm so excited i thought they were a myth.

Going on what nature would do & that is scatter the seeds very soon - I'd bang them in!

OK I'm going for it , tomorrow as its dark now , in a controlled area so i know if they come up .
do you think i will get daffs next year or just the leaves ??

I was Googling around when I saw your question, someone said it's like growing onions for two years, so I would think not next year!

Hi Chrissie, if I were you I would put the seeds in a mix of sharp sand and compost in pots and then just leave. Next year they will come up like lillies do very small. The year after the bulbs should be large enough to move to their permenent     bed. Good luck, they are one of my favourites. I collect the really old perfumed varieties and love every one of them.

i didn't know daffs had perfume , i know they have a smell , is it a strong smell ? i love daffs they were my dads favourite and the colour just lifts you when you see them , not struck on the pink ones they don't seem like spring time to me .
thanks for the advice , hope i get more .

I collect the old perfumed jonquils mainly. Geranium, pheasants eye, stilton, early cheer and yellow cheer just to name a few. even one or two of the small ones are perfumed. I specialise in perfume at home. If you could smell my garden now. You can't even smell my dogs loo!!! If you are interested pm me and I'll send you a prpper list. My Mum & Dad always loved them too. so do I.
