As winter slowly releases its grip on Boston, one of the first signs of spring emerges—daffodils! These golden blooms symbolize renewal, hope, and the promise of warmer days ahead. At Rouvalis Flowers and Gardens, we celebrate March as Daffodil Month, honoring this cheerful flower and its ability to brighten gardens, containers, and homes across the city.
The Charm of Daffodils
Daffodils (Narcissus) are a beloved spring bulb, known for their bright yellow, white, and even peach-colored petals. They’re incredibly hardy, making them a reliable bloom even after a tough New England winter. Their early arrival makes them an essential feature in urban gardens, courtyards, roof decks, and commercial landscapes throughout the greater Boston area.
Why Plant Daffodils?
Early Blooms: One of the first flowers to appear, daffodils bring life back to winter-weary landscapes.
Low Maintenance: Once planted in the fall, they return year after year with minimal care.
Pollinator-Friendly: Bees love daffodils, making them a great addition to any eco-friendly garden.
Deer & Pest Resistant: Unlike tulips, daffodils are naturally resistant to deer and rodents.
Daffodils in Boston’s Urban Gardens
Whether in container gardens, rooftop terraces, or front door displays, daffodils make an eye-catching statement. At Rouvalis Flowers and Gardens, we design and install stunning seasonal displays that highlight daffodils alongside other early bloomers like hyacinths, pansies, and hellebores. Their vibrant hues add a touch of sunshine to city gardens just as the season begins to change.
Bring the Beauty Indoors
Daffodils aren’t just for the garden! Cut daffodil arrangements are a simple way to bring a breath of spring indoors. A vase of freshly cut daffodils on your dining table or mantel instantly brightens up any space.
Tip: For the longest vase life, cut daffodils when their buds are just beginning to open and place them in fresh water. Keep them separate from other flowers, as they release sap that can shorten the lifespan of mixed bouquets.
Plan Ahead for Next Year
If you missed the chance to plant daffodil bulbs last fall, now is the perfect time to plan ahead for next year! Our team at Rouvalis Flowers and Gardens can help with fall bulb plantings, ensuring that your garden bursts with color when spring arrives.
