Narcissi Butterfly 'Cassata'
Daffodil
Narcissus 'Cassata' is a split-corona daffodil, reaching 16 to 18 inches in height. It produces large, upward-facing flowers with creamy-white petals and a deeply ruffled lemon-yellow cup, which fades to white as the bloom matures. The reflexed cup segments nearly cover the petals, creating a soft, layered effect. Thriving in full sun to part shade, 'Cassata' prefers well-drained soil and is deer-resistant. It naturalizes well, making it an excellent choice for borders, woodland edges, and mass plantings.

Growing and Maintenance Tips for Narcissi Butterfly 'Cassata'
Planting: Plant bulbs in fall, 6 inches deep and 4 to 6 inches apart, with the pointed end up. These daffodils are best planted in groups for a full, dramatic effect.
Location: Full sun to partial shade. Ideal for borders, naturalized areas, and cutting gardens.
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 3–9. Requires a winter chill 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.
