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 during 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’.
Those visiting at Easter will be able to enjoy the stunning display while hunting a series of Golden Easter Eggs dotted around the site.
