The Daffodil is the hardest working flower in all of floraculture.
Daffodils excel in all categories: in the bed, in the vase, on the exhibition bench, for breeding, for perfume. The breadth and beauty of the genus is awe inspiring, bringing joy and opulence to the Spring season. So many reasons to love them and we do.
We list hundreds of rare, historic, novel, competition, miniature, and species bulbs that are grown in North Holland and shipped from the States. Most you won’t find anywhere else.
All bulbs are grown in the Netherlands and shipped to you in October. We guarantee all bulbs to be true to name, healthy and viable.
The entire catalog is available for order through July 4. After that we aim to offer a smaller, selected list available for order through the fall.
Thanks for browsing and ordering at Qdaffs. Enjoy your time in the garden.
For the best selection please order before July 4. After that date the full catalog will close and a smaller select list will be available through the fall.

“Bulbs: they light up your yard without any electricity!”
Bill the Bulb Baron Welch
We think it's a shame to throw them away so we just keep on growing them. ”
Carlos van der Veek
“Every year new forms become available, extending the already lengthy daffodil season.The season begins with me before Christmas , with a little white petticoat, and lasts well through April. Of all the little bulbs, the flowers of these miniatures are the most endearingly diminutive, the most daintily perfect in proportion, and the most delicate in color. When they are in bloom I feel as if I could not stop looking at them for a moment, and when they are gone I am almost ashamed of the sharpness of my regret.”
Elizabeth Lawrence, The Little Bulbs, 1957.
Narcissus : from the Greek "Narkao" meaning "numbness or torpor".
Daffodil : from Old English "affodyle" for "That which comes early".

There are new releases, historics and rare daffodils that are being added to the list for the first time or are coming out of retirement. You will find them at https://www.qdaffs.us/new-and-returning.
As always this catalog closes on July 4th. After that we will have a much smaller list available for fall delivery.

2021 Shipping Debrief
The Dutch word for gifts comes from the French "cadeaux".
We have included some thank you bulbs, gratis, in each shipment. Most customers this year received several bulbs of Bobby Soxer An Alec Gray cross of N.rupicola and N.poeticus. Often compared to his wildly successful Sun Disc , but in our estimation freer and more colorful. Gets a late season teenage growth spurt. If you swoon like a Bobby Soxer over Frank Sinatra you will also swoon over this little flower.
