‘Casanova’ is a superb new Narcissus, that is ready to bloom from March until June. It generates masses of frilly peach and white flowers, that top a clump forming habit of fresh green foliage. Easy to care for and showy in appearance, be sure to incorporate into greenhouses, alpine and cut flower gardens. Happy to progress in partial shade, watch it thrive to a height of 30cm, along with a spread of 15cm. Daffodil ‘Casanova’ bears rounded white outer petals and an apricot-pink frilly corona which sits flat against them. Known as a ‘split corona’ type, Casanova stands out from the crowd, barely looking like a daffodil at all!
Daffodil and narcissus bulbs are easy to establish in any moist, well drained soil. Plant the bulbs in full sun or semi-shade at a depth of approximately 10cm (4″) and at a distance of 10cm (4″) apart. Narcissus and Daffodils look particularly eye-catching when grown as drifts in borders or informal areas of grass. For a really natural effect, cast the bulbs across the area and plant them where they land.
For an attractive indoor display, plant daffodils and narcissus in containers of bulb fibre and position them cool garage or other well ventilated, dark position at a maximum temperature of 10°C (50°F). Water sparingly when necessary to keep the compost moist. When the growing shoots reach a height of 10cm (4″) move the containers to a cool bright position indoors (approximately 16°C or 60°F).
