In compound words, 'Narzissen-' (daffodil) often comes first. The final part shows exactly what is meant: A 'Narzissenzwiebel' (daffodil bulb) is the bulb of the plant, while a 'Narzissenbeet' (daffodil bed) is a flower bed with these flowers.
Wir haben Narzissenzwiebeln gekauft, damit nächstes Jahr Narzissen vor dem Haus wachsen.
We bought daffodil bulbs so that daffodils will grow in front of the house next year.
For gardening, the phrases 'Narzissen pflanzen' (to plant daffodils) and 'Narzissenzwiebeln setzen' (to plant daffodil bulbs) are common. The bulbs are put into the ground; the plant does not have to have flowers yet.
Im Herbst pflanzen wir Narzissen am Gartenzaun.
In autumn, we plant daffodils along the garden fence.
For cut flowers, 'ein Strauß Narzissen' (a bunch of daffodils) and 'Narzissen in die Vase stellen' (to put daffodils in a vase) are common phrases. After 'ein Strauß' (a bunch), the name of the flower can follow directly without a preposition.
Sie hat einen Strauß Narzissen gekauft und die Blumen in die Vase gestellt.
She bought a bunch of daffodils and put the flowers in the vase.
