Daffodil Cassata

The white star shaped perianth is almost obscured by the large, split corona. When the flower opens, the corona is a bright lemon, as it ages it fades to a creamy yellow. The blooms have a slight fragrance and open early to mid season.

Frivolous flamboyance. Butterfly Daffodils are elaborate flowers where the corona or trumpet is split to form a ruffle. This ruffle makes the flower appear to be double. For this reason they are also known as Split Corona or Split Crown Daffodils. But we like the more romantic term Butterfly Daffodils and think they look fabulous fluttering in the spring breeze. The blooms come in a great range of colours.
Daffodils like plenty of sun and a well drained soil.
It is a good idea to prepare your soil by digging through some well rotted manure a few weeks prior to planting. This will improve drainage and add nutrients to the soil, giving your plants a good start.
Plant Daffodil bulbs three times as deep as the bulb is high with the pointy end up. The depth will protect them from heat and soil erosion. Space 10-20cm apart, more if you are leaving the bulbs in to naturalise.
Once the flowering has finished you can remove the flower stem. Allow the foliage to remain until it has yellowed. The foliage gathers energy and nutrients at this time for next years blooms. Keep relatively moist during this time and add a little general purpose fertiliser. Daffodils like Potash and slow release brands which are low in nitrogen (more flowers
