Our "Bloom or Bust" Promise

Jetfire' has held the prestigious Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Award of Garden Merit for many years, a testament to its outstanding performance, reliability, and disease resistance in the garden.

A true icon of early spring, 'Jetfire' is a small but mighty Cyclamineus daffodil with an electrifying colour combination. This RHS Award-winning variety is instantly recognisable by its bright golden-yellow petals, which are sharply swept back from the cup in the classic, windswept Cyclamineus style. Providing a stunning contrast is the slender, trumpet-like cup, which is a brilliant, fiery reddish-orange. The effect is dynamic, exciting, and full of energy. 'Jetfire' is one of the earliest daffodils to bloom, creating a welcome blast of hot colour when the garden is just waking up. It is an incredibly robust and reliable perennial that will naturalise with ease, forming larger, more impressive clumps year after year.

Where to Plant:

This is a hugely popular and reliable early-flowering daffodil, famed for its distinctively swept-back, bright yellow petals and a fiery orange-red trumpet. As a Cyclamineus type, it has a wonderfully windswept and elegant appearance. It is an excellent choice for planting in rockeries, at the front of borders, in containers, and is particularly good for naturalising in grass where it will spread to form a spectacular fiery carpet. It thrives in full sun or partial shade in moist but well-drained soil.

How to Plant:

The bulbs should be planted in the autumn, from September to November. Dig a hole and plant each bulb at a depth of about 10-15cm (4-6 inches), which is roughly twice the height of the bulb itself. Place the bulb in the hole with its pointed tip facing upwards and cover with soil. For a natural look, plant them in informal drifts, spacing them about 10cm apart to allow them to multiply.

Aftercare:

A very easy and rewarding daffodil that will form large colonies over time. After the flowers have faded, you can deadhead them if you wish, but it is not essential. The most important rule is to allow the foliage to die back naturally for at least six weeks after flowering has finished. Do not cut it back or mow the area during this period, as the leaves are busy feeding the bulb for next year's display.

I ordered the mixed hyacinth collection and the scent in my garden this April was absolutely heavenly. Every single bulb produced a strong, beautiful flower and the colours were stunning together. A fantastic purchase, I'll be back for more next year!
