The arrival of spring is being marked with a bumper display of daffodils at Michelham House Priory House & Gardens near Hailsham, Sussex – with more than 80,000 of the flowers in 18 varieties bursting into bloom throughout the heritage site’s grounds.
Expected to peak March - April, visitors can expect swathes of daffodils with bright golden cultivars like ‘Dutch Master’, gardener’s favourites like ‘Carlton’, and the exquisite ‘Sempre Avanti’, which translates in Italian to “always ahead”, a large flower with cream petals surrounding an orange cup. There will also be white cultivars, like ‘Misty Glen’, and dwarf varieties such as ‘Tête-à-tête’.
