Narcissus ‘Carlton’ – Daffodil ‘Carlton’

SKU: PDE-160257873 Categories: , ,

Description

For horticultural purposes, daffodils are split into 13 divisions. All are of garden origin, except for Division 13 species. Division 2 – Large-cupped cultivars – Flowers are solitary, each with a cup (corona) more than a third the length of, but not as long as, the perianth segments. Usually mid season flowering. They originate mainly from crosses between N. poeticus and N. pseudonarcissus (or N. x incomparabilis). The popular pink cupped cultivars with their perianths mostly belong here, but there are many others in various combinations of white or yellow perianths with cups in white, yellow, orange or red Hardy to Zones 3-9. Plant in fall, 4-6″ deep in rich, well drained soil. They enjoy full sun in cool areas, and some shade in warmer areas. Water well during growth and allow to dry out once the leaves die down. Remove spent flowers. Apply a low nitrogen, high potash fertilizer after flowering if bulbs are not performing well. Prone to narcissus bulb fly, bulb scale mite, narcissus nematode, slugs, narcissus basal rot, narcissus yellow stripe and other viruses and fungal infections.
