Product description
Apotheose is a division 4, double daffodil and is a proper beauty. Flatter, golden yellow petals form the background for the central part of the bloom which is a whirling mix of curvy petaloids interspersed with shorter, vibrant orange corona segments.
These blooms are Double Fortune Hybrids and they are great for cut flowers and mixed in borders and beds. They are a showy flower and will naturalize after being established.
Daffodils welcome you to spring. They are excellent perennial plants for borders and are great for what to plant in-between shrubs. Planting daffodils in pots is also a viable alternative. Also, they are great in woodland gardens and as cut flowers.
Daffodils can be divided into 13 different types, these differences are mostly based on variations of the cups (corona) and the petals (perianth). Daffodils are commonly and interchangeably called Narcissus or Narcissi. Specifically, daffodils are the varieties which have larger cups and larger overall blooms.
There are early indoor and outdoor daffodils, with some being more fragrant than others. Daffodils have a significant amount of variety with their growth; some stems may only bear 1 or 2 flowers, whereas others can reach upwards of 20.
The flowers are generally yellow, orange or white with either uniform cups and petals or contrasting colours.
Daffodil bulbs planting time is in the autumn season, approximately 2-4 weeks before the ground freezes. In more severe climates, ensure that the bulbs are covered with at least 6-7 cm of soil. The general rule is to plant the bulbs to a depth that is three times (3X) the size of the bulb. Also, a good depth will help reinforce the plant structure during growth to prevent bending or drooping.
Daffodils grow best in full sun to partially shaded areas. During flowering the plants will need a moist soil and mulching is suggested to maintain moisture. Although they are tolerant of most soil types, daffodils prefer a slightly acidic soil.

Top Tip
When the foliage starts to yellow and die back at the end of the season, resist the urge to prune it. Allowing the plant to die back naturally enhances its energy levels, resulting in a wonderful display of flowers the following year.
How to Water
Water thoroughly when planting. After this, narcissus planted in the ground should only need to be watered during dry spells. Bulbs grown in pots and containers will need watering more regularly to prevent the soil from drying out.
How to Plant
Plant narcissus bulbs from September to November in full sun or partial shade with moderately fertile, moist but well-draining soil. Dig holes around 5-10cm apart and plant one bulb in each hole at a depth 3 times the height of the bulb. Ensure the pointed end faces upwards then backfill with soil and compost, firm down, and water in well.
