Daffodil 'Hawera'

How to grow Daffodil 'Hawera' in NZ

Growing Daffodil 'Hawera' in NZ is easy and rewarding. Plant the bulbs in autumn in well drained soil and a sunny or partially shaded location. Space bulbs around 8 to 10 cm apart and plant them at a depth of about twice the bulb height. Once planted, they will reliably flower each spring. 'Hawera' is hardy to frost and wind, making it suitable for a wide range of NZ conditions. It naturalises well, returning year after year with little effort.

Daffodil 'Hawera' care tips

Caring for Daffodil 'Hawera' is simple and requires minimal maintenance. Water during dry periods in spring to support flowering. After blooming, allow the foliage to die back naturally as this feeds the bulb for the following year. Avoid cutting the leaves too soon. Fertilise lightly in autumn and spring with a bulb fertiliser to encourage healthy growth and abundant blooms. With its resilience and low care needs, 'Hawera' is an easy garden favourite.

Daffodil 'Hawera' size, spacing, and growth rate

Daffodil 'Hawera' grows to about 20 to 25 cm tall with slender, grassy foliage. Each bulb produces several stems topped with clusters of soft yellow flowers. When planting in groups, space bulbs 8 to 10 cm apart to create a naturalised effect. Growth is moderate, and once established, the bulbs will multiply and spread over time. This makes 'Hawera' ideal for creating cheerful drifts of colour in NZ gardens each spring.
