Description

Scarlett O'Hara boasts a bold orange cup with golden yellow petals adding dramatic flair in mid-spring to your garden. Fragrant, long long-lasting flowers are perfect when planted close to where you will enjoy them. Perfect in pots on a patio or balcony where they will receive full sun to part shade. Plant in well-drained soil, and if placed in a garden they will naturalize over time. After blooms have faded they can be removed, but leave the foliage so the bulbs can store up energy for the following season. Once the foliage has died back it can be removed. Deer, squirrel, and rabbit resistant.

Naturalizing Daffodils. Probably nothing in the gardening world is more foolproof and more rewarding than 'naturalizing' daffodils. Because unlike most other garden flowers, these fantastic plants are super-easy to plant in fall, they don't care about soil, as long as it's well-drained, and they'll bloom beautifully for you with absolutely no work every spring after you plant them. Best of all, daffodils increase over the years, each bulb developing into a blooming clump. All you have to do is pick the spots. The one thing to remember is that you won't be able to mow that area until the tops die down. Everything else takes care of itself. In a new or established wildflower meadow, the wildflower plants grow up around the daffodils hiding the fading foliage, so there's no work to do. And if you're planting wildflower seed, what could be easier that to pop in the bulbs when you have the ground already turned?

Planting & Care

Naturalizing Daffodils: Probably nothing in the gardening world is more foolproof and more rewarding than 'naturalizing' daffodils. Because unlike most other garden flowers, these fantastic plants are super-easy to plant in fall, they don't care about soil, as long as it's well-drained, and they'll bloom beautifully for you with absolutely no work every spring after you plant them. Best of all, daffodils increase over the years, each bulb developing into a blooming clump. All you have to do is pick the spots. The one thing to remember is that you won't be able to mow that area until the tops die down. Everything else takes care of itself. In a new or established wildflower meadow, the wildflower plants grow up around the daffodils hiding the fading foliage, so there's no work to do. And if you're planting wildflower seed, what could be easier that to pop in the bulbs when you have the ground already turned?

About the Wild Daffodils: Like wild tulips which are more the size of crocus, most of the wild daffodils are tiny too. They're generally small wildflowers that have been hybridized by the Dutch into the big tall beauties we know today.

Unlike tulips which are native to Central Asia, daffodils are European wildflowers, native to areas of France, Spain and Portugal.

Holland is not the ancestral home of any bulb flowers. But it's the home of almost all the hybrids, since the Dutch hybridizers have not only created thousands of new flowers gardeners love, they've developed a huge national industry that supplies bulbs to gardeners worldwide.

To a wild gardener, of course, the original un-hybridized species (and their close hybrids) are all interesting, and even better, they're all dependably perennial. Plant them once, and they're there forever. Unlike the hybrids which develop bigger and bigger clumps each year, and have to be divided every few seasons for good bloom, the wild species simply spread, like they do in the wild. So there is no maintenance for the wild bulbs, once you get them established.

Here are the major wild species:

  • Narcissus tazetta
  • Narcissus triandrus
  • Narcissus pseudonarcissus
  • Narcissus jonquilla
  • Narcissus poeticus recurvus
  • Narcissus clyclamineus'

Very nice

"I scattered different varieties of daffodils. Scarlet O'Harra was impressive"

— GlassMan (5/5)

I would buy this product again.

"Easy to plant"

— Aggie (5/5)

Just lovely!!!

"Easy to grow!"

— Anne (5/5)

Half Yield only

"Similar to the Poet's Daffodils, I had bought 2 bags of 8 of the Scarlett O' Haras to plant in borders and in an open area. Only about 10 bulbs produced any plants and only 8 of those produced flowers. Other brand daffodils did much better in terms of per bulb/ROI. Overall, disappointing yield, but otherwise healthy looking flowers and plants."

— The G. (3/5)

Great spring colors in time for easter

"Bought these to add yellow to spring bulbs that previous owner planted. They were easy to plant and good instructions,. Every bulb grew and produced beautiful flowers."

— Bourbonman (4/5)

No bloom here!

"I purchased the bag and planted at the right time but only one came out. I'm so sad this happened…will not purchase again."

— Shovel H. (1/5)

Better than the picture

"I planted the bulbs last fall. I bought the yellow and white trumpet as well to contrast the colors. They all bloom at the same time. The scarlet exceeded my expectations. It's much larger with beautiful orange inside. I will be buying more for my back yard. I hope they all come back next years."

— Kasia (5/5)

Spring delight

"Winter is long, knowing the flowers will pop up first chance in spring, keeps me going."

— Lulu (5/5)

Eye catching, performed well

"Ordered one in 2013 to add to some other daffodils I had planted on a steep north facing slope with full sun exposure in the front yard. Scarlett O'Hara's vivid colors made it a definite standout. From the sidewalk, it was a nice accent point among all different shades of yellow adding interest. FYI had an unusual series of cold snaps that winter with low 23 and below average rainfall, no additional irrigation"

— Fungo (4/5)

I would purchase this product again.

"Plants were large and colorful. Pleased with the product?"

— Carole (5/5)
