The heavy heads fall over and either snap or, if they touch the ground, are a magnet for slugs - those little black ones that creep in between the frills. I picked up some that were touching the ground. meaning to bring them into the house, but they made it straight to the heap.
I'll stick to the simple daffs in future. I think it depends where you plant them? Even your bog standard yellow trumpets can blow over in the wind. Right plant/wrong place I like the simple daffs - but to walk around the garden with lots of variety is quite special and choosing different varieties gives a very long flowering period. My pheasant eyes haven't even opened yet.
