The pot comes with the daffodils. The daffodils can be planted out in the ground after the leaves have died down. The pot will be full of bulbs. The concrete pot with drainage hole comes with the bulbs. Bulbs plus pot $15.00.

These are Spring bulbs that once establishment put on a reliable show each year.
Low growing with grasslike leaves the flowers are like tiny upright bunches of grapes, rich deep blue in colour. The blue colour against yellow daffodils is amazing, They are the first of the Spring bulbs to come into flower.
Look great in a vase and are good for picking .
Look fabulous around trees, along pathway edges, in rockeries , or anywhere in your Spring garden. They do very well in pots too.
I have pictured some growing around my silver birches. These plants have weathered the hot dry Summer and bounced back into flower so they are hardy.
$6.50 per pot.
Pickup is in Kuripuni .
