Narcissi Large Cupped 'Carlton'

Daffodil

Introduced in 1927, Narcissus 'Carlton' is a classic large-cupped daffodil, reaching 18 to 20 inches in height. It produces solid golden-yellow blooms with wide, gracefully frilled cups and broad, overlapping petals, creating a bold, uniform display. The flowers appear in mid-spring and have a unique vanilla fragrance, making them excellent for cut arrangements. Thriving in full sun to part shade, 'Carlton' prefers well-drained soil and is deer-resistant, rabbit-resistant, and drought-tolerant. This variety is one of the best perennializers, famously reliable for large-scale plantings.

Growing and Maintenance Tips for Narcissi Large Cupped 'Carlton'

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.
