Daffodil 'Las Vegas'

Tall stems with ivory petals, complimented with strong yellow, flared trumpets. The trumpets have a nice ruffle along the edge. Free flowering (to15cm) with good multiplication. Early to Mid season.

Great in the garden and a cinch to grow. We have trialled and tested these varieties to ensure they are good and hardy and we are confident of their quality. They can be relied upon to produce masses of unfailing spring colour for many years to come.

You can take advantage of the large variety of Daffodils available to create a symphony of colours and textures in your garden or containers. Our Tip: by choosing early mid and late flowering varieties you can extend your show and enjoy daffodils from June to October.

Daffodils are easy and they like the simple things in life; plenty of sun and a well drained soil.

Plant Daffodil bulbs three times as deep as the bulb is high, with the pointy end up. This depth will help protect them from heat and soil erosion, as well as providing strength for the stem.

Space your Daffodils 5-10cm or apart. Planting them closer will give a more dramatic display. We like to plant ours three to a hole as this creates in instant effect. When you use this method in garden beds, with smaller clumps of bulbs more often, you get the joy of repetition. Another benefit is that when the foliage dies back it is more inconspicuous.

Once the flowering has finished, it is ideal to remove the flower stem; simply snap or snip the finished flower off. This has two advantages; the first is that it stops the plant focusing on unnecessary seed production, so you can increase your bulb numbers and size, secondly it looks better.

Allow the foliage to remain until it has yellowed, this is when the bulbs are gathering energy and nutrients for next year’s blooms. Keep the plants relatively moist during this time, adding a little general purpose fertiliser will help provide for next year’s display. Daffodils appreciate Potash and slow release fertilisers which are low in nitrogen (so you get more flowers and less foliage). Don’t be too heavy handed, you won’t need much as they are not heavy feeders.

Daffodil ‘Las Vegas’ is Division 1, Long Cupped Trumpet.
IN POTS:
This is our recommendation for the best display, keeping in mind bulbs look best when planted nice and close together. Our other top tip is to add a winter flower annual such as Violas to the pot to help you remember to water when the bulb is growing roots below the soil over winter.

14cm/6” = 5 bulbs
20cm/8” = 10 bulbs
25cm/10” = 15 bulbs
