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.
Narcissus 'Casanova' is a collar type split-corolla daffodil in division 11a. But ignore all this jargon because, in late winter or early spring, the flowers come out. And what a sight they are; with many people questioning whether this is a daffodil at all, because it is so unusual. For Narcissus 'Casanova', which has only been in existence since 2019, has many special attributes. First, 'Casanova' is a split-corona type, where the central wavy petals are in four parts; these lay flat against the outer petals or perianth. Second, the colour is very unusual... and delicious! Outer petals are cream-white, while the inner petals are pale apricot-pink.
Narcissus 'Casanova' is medium-sized, reaching up to 40cm in height, and is perfect for the front of a border, edging a path, or for growing in containers. You can be certain that when you grow 'Casanova' daffodils, they will be a talking point with visitors.

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.
