Boasting frilly-edged petals, 'Apotheose' stands out as an exquisite double daffodil, renowned for its captivating light, sweet fragrance, and blend of orange and yellow hues. Standing at around 35cm (14in) tall, this clump-forming daffodil features strap-shaped, grey-green leaves that provide an elegant backdrop to its striking blooms. With flowers reaching approximately 10cm (4in) across, this remarkable narcissus showcases a double layer of bright yellow outer petals, complemented by smaller petals in the centre adorned with frilly orange coronal sections.
Wearing gloves plant bulbs 10-15cm (4-6in) deep and 10cm (4in) apart in autumn. After flowering feed with a balanced fertiliser, deadhead the flowers, but do not be tempted to cut back or tidy the foliage after flowering as this will interfere with the bulbs’ ability to store energy for the following year's flowers.
