Prepare to be dazzled

There will be some 14,000 Golden Joys, Sealing Waxes and Tahitis blooming around Hever Castle this month.

They're all types of daffodils, and you'll find them in yellow – but also in orange, white and even pink. The gardening team are so proud of their floral feat, they have launched a new event, Dazzling Daffodils, which runs through to this weekend.

From Tahiti to Birma and Worcester to High Society, they'll all be standing to attention for the five-day event in the grounds at Anne Boleyn’s childhood home. Master grower Johnny Walkers of Walkers’ Bulbs, winner of 35 RHS gold medals, will be giving talks and tours and sharing his encyclopaedic knowledge. Visitors should also be on the look out for new varieties, some being seen for the first time at Hever Castle.

Dazzling Daffodils runs until Sunday, March 25. Opening times are 10.30am to 3pm, with admission included in the normal admission price.
