Know before you buy
Butterfly or 'Split-cup' daffodils feature a unique corona (the central cup) that is split into segments. This gives the flower an open, ruffled appearance that resembles delicate butterfly wings rather than the traditional trumpet shape.
Yes, these are perennial bulbs. They are vigorous and long-lived, meaning they will return each spring and naturally multiply over time with minimal maintenance.
Daffodils contain alkaloids that make them unpalatable to most garden pests. While no plant is 100% immune, these are widely considered one of the most reliable choices for gardens prone to deer and vole activity.
For the best visual impact, plant the bulbs 5 to 6 inches apart. This spacing allows the 25 bulbs in the collection to fill a 5–6 square foot area effectively.
While these daffodils thrive best in full sun, they will perform well in areas with partial sun. Ensure the soil is well-drained, as daffodils are susceptible to rot if left in standing water.
This mix is categorized as midseason to late midseason, typically blooming between April and May. Because the collection includes six different varieties, you will enjoy a staggered display of color throughout that window.
