Narcissi Large Cupped 'Delibes'

Daffodil

Narcissus 'Delibes' is a classic large-cupped daffodil, typically growing 12 to 18 inches tall. It features broad, golden-yellow petals surrounding a shallow, bowl-shaped cup that opens bright yellow and gradually deepens to warm orange along its beautifully ruffled rim. Blooming from early to mid-spring, 'Delibes' produces vibrant, long-lasting flowers that are excellent for borders, naturalized plantings, and cut flower arrangements.

Please note: Delibes daffodil bulbs are not available for shipping until October.

Growing and Maintenance Tips for Narcissi Large Cupped 'Delibes'

Planting: Plant bulbs in fall, 6 inches deep and 4 to 6 inches apart, with the pointed end up. These daffodils are ideal for mass plantings or formal borders.
Location: Full sun to partial shade. They bloom best with at least 6 hours of sunlight daily.
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 spring growth. Once foliage yellows, reduce watering—bulbs prefer dry summer dormancy.
Temperature: Hardy in USDA zones 3–8. Requires a winter chill to bloom reliably.
Fertilization: Apply compost or a low-nitrogen fertilizer in fall and again in early spring.
Pruning: Deadhead spent blooms to prevent seed formation. Allow foliage to die back naturally to recharge the bulb.
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.
