Narcissus Apotheose

Narcissus Apotheose – golden yellow with orange inner petals and a light scent. A wonderful old-fashioned double daffodil.

What do Double Daffodils look like?

Double Daffodils have packed rows of petals, giving them a frilly appearance. The double daffodil form can have a doubled trumpet, a double row of petals or even both, in single, or bi-coloured variants, and some are scented.

Planting Daffodil bulbs

Plant Daffodil bulbs in autumn, at one-and-a-half times their own depth, slightly deeper in light soils or grass. Daffodil bulbs prefer well-drained soil that is moist in the growing season in spring, in full sun or light dappled shade.

Daffodil bulbs are full hardy perennial and low maintenance coming back year-on-year. They benefit from being deadheaded as the flowers fade, and allow the leaves to die down naturally so that the bulbs have nutrients to come back the following year.

Daffodil bulbs benefit from division when clumps have formed. Gently lift and separate bulbs, to replant as the leaves fade in early summer, or in early autumn before new roots are produced.
