Description

For horticultural purposes, daffodils are split into 13 divisions. All are of garden origin, except for Division 13 species. Division 6 – Cyclammineus cultivars – Flowers are solitary, each acutely angled to the stem, with significantly reflexed perianth segments and usually a long cup or trumpet (corona).. Early and mid spring flowering growing to 15″ tall. 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.
