class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>In New Zealand, daffodils bloom during late winter and early spring, typically from <strong>August through September<\/strong>, depending on the region and seasonal conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>This makes them one of the first signs that spring has arrived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Because they&#8217;re only available for a short time each year, daffodils are a favourite seasonal flower, bringing colour and freshness after the colder winter months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Caring for Daffodils<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>With a little care, fresh daffodils can brighten your home for days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are a few simple tips:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"has-cm-text-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-94ec15df96d6f00565f80456f7960160\">Trim the stems at an angle before placing them in a clean vase.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-cm-text-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-5af0b0846f406cfe74f335507f4290fc\">Fill your vase with fresh, cool water and change it every couple of days.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-cm-text-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-070336e470b625746611643e06a6837f\">Re-trim the stems each time you refresh the water.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-cm-text-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-1bafd4764eb75f1d0ce8a51e62dbf439\">Keep flowers away from direct sunlight, heaters and draughts to help them last longer.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-cm-text-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-a18bd5f50da44e04ed70c7266c92ec2a\">Avoid placing them near ripening fruit, as the natural ethylene gas can shorten the life of fresh flowers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>If your daffodils are arranged with other flowers, follow the care instructions provided by your florist, as mixed bouquets may require slightly different handling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\"
