A tiptop way to banish the winter blues is to bring into your kitchen the golden splash of DAFFS!
Simple, sunny, and oh so welcome after the long dark days of mud and winter... daffodils are a thrill everything spring. This season’s designs are inspired by the simple pleasure of fresh flowers, thoughtful gestures, reconnecting with friends, and capturing that sense of optimism.
Inspired particularly by Cornish Daffodils, we're sharing some of Fentongollan Farm's top spring flower tips... and should you want some lovely flowers to fill your jugs and vases, order some daffs in the post fresh from the farm here.

Spring Flower Tips
"Tulips aren't just for planting in the garden or having in pots outside. Tulips are a very popular flower to have in a vase around the house or mixed into a bouquet with other flowers. They are known for their wide range of vibrant colours and can last well in a vase. Tulips do need proper care though and that's where we come in with a few helpful tips...so you can make the most of your beautiful tulips!
1/ First thing to do... remember to cut the ends off your tulip stems before putting them in a vase. We recommend to cut about 1 inch off and then immediately put them into fresh water.
2/ Tulips don't like drinking dirty or warm water, so make sure you are changing the water every other day!
3/ Do not be alarmed if your tulips droop after putting them into a vase. They've had a journey getting to you without any water so will require time for a drink. As long as they are in fresh water and the ends of the stems have been cut off they will stand back up...just give them time!
4/ You can if you want remove any excess leaves you don't want
5/ We also recommend removing the tulips every three/four days and cutting the tips off the stems. This is to help encourage them to drink more water- hopefully preserving them for longer!
We hope these are helpful!!"
