Description

Daffodil or Narcissus 'Double Gold Medal' is a very bright novelty, with double flowers and a full corolla of golden yellow with a plump and delicately blended golden yellow-orange heart. It blooms in April-May, at the end of the daffodil season. This small variety is a remarkable cut flower and an easy-to-grow, very hardy plant which naturalises easily in well-drained soil.

 

 

'Double Gold Medal' Double-flowered Daffodil belongs to the amaryllidaceae family. The Narcissus genus includes about 50 species mainly found in Western Mediterranean, but also in Africa and Asia. The 'Double Gold Medal' daffodil is a hybrid variety of N. Tazetta, a very robust plant that adapts to very different climates and conditions. 'Double Gold Medal' produces a very sturdy stem 25 to 30 cm (10 to 12in) tall when in bloom. It is a mid-late flowering plant, in April-May, with a large yellow-green floral bud that gives way to beautiful flowers, composed of a heart of small crumpled golden yellow and orange petals intertwined with each other on a corolla of larger, equally golden yellow petals. Double-flowered Daffodils have an extra crown of petals and a long flowering period. The deciduous, linear foliage disappears in summer. 

 

 

There is such a wide variety of daffodils that you can enjoy them for three months in spring without ever getting bored. They can all naturalise easily, have a love for yellow and white, and often emit sweet fragrances. These are all reasons to grow them in large clumps (at least 20 bulbs) for a mass effect. Combine 'Double Gold Medal' in slightly formal flowerbeds with scilla and hyacinths, double tulips, forget-me-nots, pansies or liverworts. A bunch of 'Double Gold Medal' double-flowered daffodils in a vase will look sensational. It is simply perfect in pots.

 

Daffodil or Narcissus? Botanically speaking, daffodils are part of the narcissus family. They have flowers grouped in twos or more and their corolla forms a longer campanulate trumpet than the corolla is wide. The botanical species have the charm of wild plants and thrive in rockeries: N.bulbocodium, N. canaliculatus, N.juncifolius, N.pseudonarcissus and the simple woodland daffodil are among the prettiest ones. In vases, we advise you not to mix daffodils with other flowers such as tulips, as the stems of daffodils contain a substance that causes other flowers to wither quickly. You can mitigate this detrimental effect by dipping the ends of the daffodil stems in hot water for 1 to 2 minutes.

Planting and care

Narcissus 'Double Gold Medal' is undemanding and grows in any well-drained and loosened soil, but the results not as good in very wet or acidic soils. The warmer and drier your climate, the less the nature of the soil will be important. Plant the bulbs from September to mid-December, 15 cm (6in) deep, with a spacing of 8 cm (3in), in a sunny or partially shaded location (at least 3 hours of sunlight per day). Left undisturbed, your daffodils will produce more and more flowers each year. To can plant them in a lawn: remove a patch of turf, dig and loosen the soil to at least 20 cm (8in) (the height of a spade), place your bulbs, cover with soil, and replace the turf. Choose a place where you won't mow early, as you must let the daffodil leaves wither before cutting them. It is a good idea to water in dry spells. The daffodil bulbs can remain in the ground. Remove faded flowers to promote the accumulation of new reserves in the bulb but let the foliage die naturally and only cut it when it turns yellow. If the clumps become too dense, they will not flower as well, they can be divided from July to September when the leaves are dry. You can replant the (undamaged) bulbs immediately.
