Plant daffodil bulbs from September to November. If needed, store them somewhere cool and dry, away from mice, but plant before they begin to deteriorate.
Plant the large-cupped Narcissus 'Amadeus' among other mid-spring daffodils to create your own springtime symphony! A halo of white petals flutter around the zesty tangerine cups that give this variety its distinctive appearance. Each corona is deeply frilled around the outer edges creating a lacy, ruffled effect that contrasts sharply with the crisp outline of its outer petals.
Bursting with character, Narcissus 'Amadeus' is a complete show-off, flaunting its large blooms proudly above robust stems. It won’t flop over in first spring gales; instead it stands resolute and proud! This same sturdiness makes this mid-season variety a particularly good cut flower for spring bouquets.
When it comes to routine maintenance, this impressive daffodil deserves a standing ovation for reliability and a carefree attitude. Once established, Narcissus 'Amadeus' will virtually look after itself, naturalizing happily in any sunny or lightly shaded spot.

Plant profile
Plant calendar
Choose full sun or partial shade. Improve heavy soil with organic matter and horticultural grit. For containers, use peat-free multipurpose compost with good drainage.
Plant bulbs pointed side upwards, two to three times their own height deep and around 10cm apart. Smaller bulbs can be planted slightly closer together.
Water after planting if the soil is dry. Established bulbs in borders rarely need more, but water during dry spring weather and keep containers lightly moist.
Remove faded flowers, but leave the stems and foliage until they turn yellow and die back naturally. The bulbs can remain planted throughout the year.
