Daffodil standard

Daffodils (genus Narcissus) are iconic spring-flowering bulbs celebrated for their trumpet-shaped blooms and vibrant colours, typically in shades of yellow, white, or orange. Most daffodil varieties grow 30–45 cm tall and bloom from late winter through spring. They thrive in full sun or partial shade and prefer well-drained soil. Daffodils are ideal for mass planting, borders, containers, or naturalising in lawns. Hardy, low-maintenance, and deer-resistant, they return reliably each year, making them a favourite in both formal and informal garden settings.

Growing Daffodil standard Successfully in NZ

Daffodils flourish in well-drained soils with full sun or partial shade. Plant bulbs in autumn, spacing them to allow good airflow and reduce disease risk. Incorporate organic matter for better soil structure and nutrients. Suitable for NZ’s temperate climate, daffodils naturalise well, providing reliable spring colour for years.

Daffodil standard Care Tips

Water moderately during active growth, avoiding waterlogging. Mulch to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Remove yellowed foliage only after it dies back naturally to allow bulbs to store energy for next season. Regular monitoring for pests such as bulb flies helps maintain plant health.

Plant Size and Spacing

Most daffodils grow 30-45 cm tall. Space bulbs 10-15 cm apart, deeper planting improves bloom quality and reduces risk of frost damage. Adequate spacing promotes healthy growth and reduces competition for nutrients.
