Can flower February - April
Pruning Tips
Don't prune after flowering, as this period is important to help the plant replenish its food reserves. Deadheading faded flowers is fine though!
Wildlife Value
Can provide nectar and pollen for bees, butterflies and other pollinating insects.
Positioning
Dappled shade to full sun is best for these golden blooms
Water
Moist soil is ideal; make sure they are not sat somewhere boggy or in a puddle, and they shouldn't need watering unless there is a drought.
Soil
Can grow in multiple types of soil, as long as it is moist and well-drained!
Food
A liquid feed will be beneficial in poor soil; the best time is while the leaves are still green.
Pet-safe?
No, this plant is toxic to cats, dogs, horses and humans, so no nibbling!
Sprouts Top Tips
These are our top pick for limited spaces! They can grow in smaller patches of grass and in pots. If you're keeping them in a pot, make sure to add nutrients or fresh compost every year or so; these daffs will appreciate a nutrient boost in early spring while they are growing.

Just what I was looking for. The coir moss pole gives my monstera some much-needed support and allows it to grow upwards. I've had the pole for two weeks and the plant is already looking much happier. Thanks!
Had a desire box was ok but one plant not potted.. others very small.. rescue box from else’s where bigger plants and stronger looking
Had to grab this one as the pastel green was so pretty. There is a water resivour at the bottom to stop plants sitting in water so its perfect for orchids but at the moment I'm using it for another plant.
Wanted one of these for ages so I had to jump at the size and price of this plant. Stunning large leaves and has already grown loads
