Narcissi Bunch Flowering 'Kedron'
Daffodil
Narcissus ‘Kedron’ is a Jonquilla hybrid, reaching 13 to 18 inches in height. Each stem produces sprays of slightly pointed bronze-red petals surrounding a crimped persimmon-orange cup, blooming in mid-spring. The flowers are intensely fragrant, with a tropical fruit-like scent, making them excellent for cut arrangements and mass plantings.
Thriving in full sun, ‘Kedron’ prefers well-drained, loamy soil and is deer-resistant, offering reliable performance in Zones 7–9 and a distinctive color palette for spring borders and naturalized areas.

Growing and Maintenance Tips for Narcissi Bunch Flowering 'Kedron'
Planting: Plant bulbs in fall, 6 inches deep and 4 to 6 inches apart, with the pointed end up. These daffodils produce multiple blooms per stem, so groupings of 5–10 bulbs create a fuller effect.
Location: Full sun to partial shade. Ideal for borders, naturalized drifts, and under deciduous trees.
Soil: Well-drained, moderately fertile soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0–7.0). Enrich with compost or leaf mold.
Watering: Water after planting and during active growth in spring. Once foliage yellows, reduce watering—bulbs prefer dry summer dormancy.
Temperature: Hardy in USDA zones 3–9. Requires a cold period to bloom reliably.
Fertilization: Apply compost or a low-nitrogen fertilizer in fall and again in early spring.
Pruning: Allow foliage to die back naturally to feed the bulb. Remove spent flower stalks for tidiness.
Propagation: Naturalizes by offsets. Divide clumps every 4 to 5 years in summer when dormant.
Pest & Disease: Deer- and rodent-resistant. Good drainage prevents bulb rot.
