Daffodils at the RHS Gardens

Beside the lake, beneath the trees, fluttering and dancing in the breeze... Enjoy the spectacle of thousands of daffodils in bloom at RHS Gardens

RHS Garden Rosemoor

Devon

A mass of glorious daffodils, spilling from pots, flowing through borders and dancing in the meadow areas, marks the start of spring at RHS Rosemoor. The native daffodil Narcissus pseudonarcissus drifts through the Stream Garden, while Lady Anne’s Arboretum becomes a sea of golden yellow from the distinctive blooms of the hoop petticoat daffodil, N. bulbocodium and Welsh daffodil, N. obvallaris.

In recent years, the garden team have planted thousands of additional daffodil bulbs, including 2,000 of our namesake Narcissus ‘Rosemoor Gold’ in Lady Anne’s Garden. Other daffodil hotspots include the Lake and Winter Garden. Enjoy our Spring Flower Showcase, including the RHS Daffodil Competition, on 8–9 March 2025.

RHS Garden Hyde Hall

Essex

Enjoy joyful drifts of daffodils blooming throughout RHS Hyde Hall. One of the best places to appreciate them is around the Lower Pond, where there are large groups of cyclamineus daffodils, including Narcissus ‘Rapture’ and ‘Peeping Tom’, known for their delightful dainty flowers with swept back petals and pronounced trumpets.

Elsewhere, daffodils smother the bulb bank of the Queen Mother’s Garden and are the stars of spring in the Hilltop Garden, Robinson Garden and Floral Fantasia display. Don’t miss the Daffodil Show on 19–20 March 2025 and be wowed by hundreds of beautiful cut blooms.

RHS Garden Wisley

Surrey

There are daffodils to delight everyone at RHS Wisley – from the golden sea of naturalised hoop petticoat daffodils (Narcissus bulbocodium) in the Alpine Meadow, to generous drifts in Seven Acres.

Recent plantings of cheerful Cyclamineus Group daffodils light up the Pinetum, creating a carpet of colour under the majestic pines, and in Oakwood, there are plantings of historic daffodils to discover, including ‘Rip van Winkle’, an heirloom double dating from before 1884.

Don’t miss the RHS Daffodil Show on 8–9 April 2025 to appreciate the wonderful variety of these beautiful blooms.

RHS Garden Bridgewater

Greater Manchester

A wave of colour spreads across the garden in spring courtesy of tens of thousands of bulbs planted over the last few years. In the Orchard, drifts of more than 50,000 daffodils create a floral spectacle. Planted with help from our volunteers, 14 Narcissus cultivars give a succession of colour in soft cream, white and pastel yellow that complements the fruit tree blossom.

Other spring bulb hotspots include the Kitchen Garden, where pastel coloured tulips are grown for cut flowers, and Rhubarb Alley, where golden daffodils mingle among the emerging stems of rhubarb. Head to the Bee and Butterfly Garden to relax surrounded by pots bursting with daffodils, hyacinths and Muscari. Visit our Spring Plant Fair, 5–6 April 2025, to pick up beautiful and unusual spring plants.
