About Narcissus 'Carlton'

Narcissus 'Carlton' produces one substantial flower on each upright stem, held above narrow, blue-green foliage.

The flowers are a clear sulphur yellow with broad overlapping petals surrounding a rounded, deeper yellow central cup.

The cup has an attractive frilled and gently ruffled edge, adding texture to the otherwise classic daffodil shape.

'Carlton' belongs to the Large-Cupped group of daffodils. In this group, the corona or cup measures more than one-third of the length of the surrounding perianth segments, but is not as long as the petals themselves.

Its strong growth, traditional colouring and dependable flowering make 'Carlton' particularly effective when planted in generous groups.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time to plant daffodil bulbs in the UK?

Daffodil and narcissus bulbs should ideally be planted from September to November in well-drained soil. This gives the bulbs enough time to establish roots before the growing season and ensures a vibrant spring bloom.

How deep should I dig daffodil bulbs?

Plant bulbs at a depth of 2-3 times their height, covering them with soil to protect against frost and pests. Proper depth helps bulbs survive winter and return year after year with healthy foliage and flowers.

Can daffodils be planted with tulips or other spring bulbs?

Yes! Planting daffodils alongside tulips, crocus, or Muscari extends your garden’s spring colour and provides early forage for pollinators. This combination also creates natural drifts and clumps, enhancing your display.

How do I know if my daffodil bulbs are healthy?

Look for signs like firm, plump bulbs with no mould or soft spots. Healthy bulbs have intact tunics and show no signs of disease or damage, ensuring they produce strong shoots and bright flowers in the spring.

When is the best time for autumn planting of spring bulbs?

The ideal time to plant spring flowering bulbs like tulips, daffodils, crocus, and snowdrops is from September to November. Planting during this period allows bulbs to establish roots before winter and ensures a healthy, vibrant bloom in early spring, with stunning green foliage and flower colours ranging from purple and blue to bright yellows and whites.
