Narcissus 'Cassata'
Split-corona daffodil bulbs
This is a more unusual daffodil to add to the collection. Its beautiful flowers are relatively large, and unlike many other forms, its cup (or corona) lies almost flattened against the outermost petals (perianth), fading from lemon-yellow to rich cream as it ages. The overall effect is wonderful, and the elegant, softly ruffled blooms are excellent for cutting.
How to care for Narcissus Cassata:
Plant 10-15cm (4-6in) deep from late summer to early autumn. After flowering feed with a balanced fertiliser, deadhead and allow the leaves to die back naturally.
