GENERAL DESCRIPTION
“Saint Patrick’s Day” Is A Large-Cupped Daffodil Growing Up To 45 Cm Tall, With Broad, Light Yellow Perianth Segments, Tinged Greenish When First Opening And A Flared Creamy-Yellow Cup With A Frilled, Slightly Deeper Yellow Rim.
Large-Cupped Daffodils Have Solitary Flowers In Which The Cup Is At Least One Third As Long As, But Shorter Than The Perianth Segments.
Like All Daffodils “Saint Patrick’s Day” Is A Superb And Long Lasting Cut Flower. In The Landscape It Pairs Well With Tulips, Hyacinths, Muscaris And Spring Blooming Perennials And Shrubs. It Is Also Wonderful For Planting In Showy Masses. They Are Excellent For Beds, Borders, In Containers And Pots.
These Are Some Of The Easiest Bulbs To Grow. They Prefer Full To Part Sun And Require Average Fertile Soil. After Blooming, It Is Good To Let Their Green Tops Photosynthesize To Allow Them To Store Plenty Of Fuel For Next Spring’s Display. Once Their Leaves Start To Turn Yellow, They Can Be Cut To The Ground. Divide Them In Summer If Bloom Or Vigour Dwindles.
