Optimize the use of mixed daffodils on your site

The Green Man recommends using drifts of one variety of daffodil. Do this near the entry and the immediate vicinity. For areas such as slopes or glens around the perifery of the grounds, mixed daffodils work well. Got that? Single drifts near the house and in highly visible spots;mixed drifts around the edges of the property or difficult areas.
