Another kind of bulb in lawn is in a spread of ivy with three different
daffodils planted en masse. The ivy grows beneath a number of 80 year
old European beech trees and the daffodils foliage has the chance to
ripen before the trees truly leaf out. They have been there for three
years and the daffodils seem to be thriving. The daffodils are Pueblo,
February Gold and Thalia. It provides and spread of daffodils from
early to late season and also the colors of the display change as the
different daffodils come into bloom. The toughest part was planting
the bulbs in the tangle of ivy stems and tree roots from the beeches.
