Large Cupped Daffodil Carlton

Large Cupped Daffodil Carlton

100%
of respondents would recommend this to a friend
Large, 5", lemon yellow flowers radiate cheer and warmth in mid spring. Large Cupped Daffodil Carlton makes an impressive display when planted in large groups in borders, gardens and naturalized areas. Growing 18" tall, it's also a favorite for cut-flower displays. By planting early, mid and late-season daffodils and narcissus, gardeners can extend the daffodil season to last throughout the spring. Easy to grow and deer resistant, daffodil bulbs perform best when planted in well-drained soil and full sun to partial shade.

Bloomed in Dallas-Fort Worth area

Submitted 2 years ago

Bloomed well. I'm in the Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas,. These were planted at various residential sites from a little before Thanksgiving through December (which was somewhat late timing in our area), but the ones with a good amount of sun and water bloomed well.

Purchased a bag of 100 of these Carlton bulbs (and 100 Ice Follies). They performed wonderfully. They are my wife's favorite flower. Looking forward to seeing these every spring as they naturalize year after year. Had over 200 blooms from the 200 bulbs. Highly recommended!
