There are 26000 cultivated varieties of daffodils, with an average of 160 new varieties launched every year. The growth habits of daffodils are actually very interesting. They like a humid environment in winter and a dry and hot environment in summer. Therefore, when cultivating daffodils, it is necessary to keep sufficient water in its main growth period.
Daffodils do not have a high demand for light. In addition to the need for sufficient light when the leaves grow, it is necessary to maintain semi shade when daffodils bloom. Daffodils prefer loose, fertile, and well-drained soil, preferably slightly alkaline soil rich in humus.
In fact, the main value of daffodils is to view and admire, and beautiful flowers are its biggest ornamental value. Daffodils usually bloom in winter and spring. They are suitable for potting and can decorate the home or breed them on the edge of flower beds and pools.
Daffodils symbolize to light the fire of life. It is said that when the blood of Apollo's lover spilled on the earth, a daffodil bloom on the ground, which became Apollo's memorial of this love. Daffodils represent nostalgia, love, and admiration.
