    I mowed mine down this week. I reckon less than 1% flowered.

    They're planted in the grass along the drive. ( before our time here ) and they look naff.

     You are cruel! But I do so agree! I much prefer the little ones!

    they were just in a single file all along the drive, like a row of soldiers. Totally naff daffs.

  • Glad I'm not the only one who finds them naff.

    Although I do have 1 small bunch in my garden from the previous owners. They look nice in their little place.Wouldn't plant any more tho

    I love daffs. f they'd all been in nice big clumps, I'd have been happy, but just not in single file.

    We had bunches of lovely pale, creamy daffs growing in what use dto be the donkey paddock and is now designated as potager.  We got chappy to dig them up with his digger before he turned over the rest of the grass and they are now parked on a slab of concrete being watered regularly to keep them alive while we find new homes.

    I love daffs but not so much the huge bright yellow ones or the pink atrocities and definitely not in single rows so I think it's worth saving what you can and then just dig up the rest when you prepare you soil for the hedge.
