Description

For horticultural purposes, daffodils are split into 13 divisions. All are of garden origin, except for Division 13 species.

Division 7 – Jonquilla cultivars – Each stem carries 2-5 usually scented flowers, with spreading perianth segments and small, shallow cups (coronas). The stems are cylindrical, the dark green leaves are very narrow and almost cylindrical. Mid and late season 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.

Prone to narcissus bulb fly, bulb scale mite, narcissus nematode, slugs, narcissus basal rot, narcissus yellow stripe and other viruses and fungal infections.
