Narcissus Cassata - Daffodil

Very pretty light yellow narcissus with orchid-like flowers. Very graceful double flowers. Each stem bears a single flower. Interesting variety for bouquets.

Narcissus are the most resistant bulbs planted in autumn. They tolerate both full sun and partial shade. They prefer well-drained soil but also thrive in heavy soil.

For bouquets: We advise against mixing narcissus with other flowers. Especially tulips, as the stems of narcissus contain a substance that causes other flowers to wilt quickly. This detrimental effect on other flower species can be attenuated by dipping the ends of narcissus stems in hot water for 1 to 2 minutes.

Narcissus come back every year. Unlike perennial plants, it is unnecessary to fertilize before flowering. Only cut the leaves when they have turned yellow and apply fertilizer: this is when the bulb replenishes itself and prepares for the flowers of the following year.
