Daffodil 'Kiwi Sunset'

How to grow Daffodil 'Kiwi Sunset' in NZ

Daffodil 'Kiwi Sunset' grows best in full sun or light shade with fertile, free draining soil. Plant bulbs in autumn with the pointed end facing upwards and position them at a depth of around two to three times the height of the bulb. Space bulbs evenly and water after planting to settle the soil. Avoid sites that remain wet through winter, as good drainage is important. Daffodil 'Kiwi Sunset' performs well throughout New Zealand and benefits from winter chilling before producing its attractive spring flowers.

Daffodil 'Kiwi Sunset' care tips

Daffodil 'Kiwi Sunset' is easy to care for once planted. Water during extended dry periods while the foliage is actively growing and apply a bulb fertiliser in autumn or early spring to support strong flowering. After the blooms fade, remove spent flower stems but leave the foliage in place until it turns yellow naturally. This allows the bulb to store energy for the following season. Avoid cutting green leaves too early. In suitable soil, Daffodil 'Kiwi Sunset' can remain in the ground for several years and gradually develop into larger flowering clumps.

Daffodil 'Kiwi Sunset' size, spacing, and growth rate

Daffodil 'Kiwi Sunset' typically grows to around 40 to 50 cm tall when flowering, with sturdy stems rising above narrow green foliage. Plant bulbs approximately 10 to 15 cm apart for a natural garden display, or slightly closer when creating a denser mass planting. Growth begins during the cooler months and develops steadily before flowering in spring. Each bulb forms a compact clump that can increase over time. Good sunlight, drainage, and seasonal feeding help Daffodil 'Kiwi Sunset' flower strongly and multiply successfully from year to year.
