Description

12-18" tall x 3" wide. Delnashaugh Double Daffodil produces fully double flowers with rounded petals. It's almost like a rose with the hardiness of a daffodil! Creamy white petals interspersed with pink-apricot layers on sturdy stems create a unique look for the spring garden. Easily grown, plant plenty of this fragrant flower for indoor vases and for the garden. Deer and rabbits stay away, just plant them in well-drained soil in a full sun to light shade spot where they can show off in style. Plant in groups of at least 6 for best effect. Be sure to let the foliage and stems die back naturally as this is how the bulb recharges for the following spring. Once established, they will spread (naturalize) through the garden.

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'

It's So Pretty

"I'm not a huge daffodil fan but I have issues with squirrels eating my bulbs. So I set out to find daffodils that do not look like your average run of the mill daffodil. I found these and gave them a shot. I planted them last fall and they all popped up this spring. I am beyond satisfied with them. They are so pretty! I'm considering buying more now."

— Nichole (5/5)

I would buy this daffodill again…

"I moved into a house with no garden, and am buiding my own. These daffs are a great addition…tough, hardy, and very beautiful. First ones in my yard, and I will certainly buy more. Thank you, American Meadows."

— Kate (5/5)

Above and beyond!

"These are by far my most favorite daffodils! Large, healthy and vibrant! I couldn't believe how well they grew and bloomed, and how big they were."

— Matt (5/5)

Very pretty!

"These were popping up much later than my neighbors daffodils. I'm wondering if it is just because it's the first year though. They are very pretty, but maybe not as deeply peach as the photo suggests."

— A (4/5)

Will buy again

"These are very pretty. This is the their first year. Looking forward to next year."

— Barb (5/5)
