General Culture: Click for monthly care information.
Easily grown in average, medium moisture, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade. Best in organically rich, sandy loams that drain well. Plant bulbs 4-6" deep and 3-6” apart in fall. After the flowers have bloomed, the top portion of each flower stem may be removed, as practicable, to prevent seed formation, but foliage should not be cut back until it begins to yellow. Flowers usually face the sun, so bulbs should be grown with any shade areas at the rear of the planting. Bulbs are easily grown, multiply rapidly and can be left undisturbed for a number of years.
Noteworthy Characteristics:
Jonquillia daffodil (Division VII). A jonquillia daffodil features 1-5 usually fragrant flowers per stem, each with spreading perianth segments (petals) and a small corona (cup). Narrow, reed-like, dark green leaves are in upright clumps. ‘Pink Angel’ rises 14-16” tall in spring, usually producing up to three flowers per stem. Each flower features snow-white petals and a white cup with a pink rim and green eye. Flowers have a mild scent. Blooms medium to late season (April-May in St. Louis).
Problems:
No serious insect or disease problems. Bulb rot may occur in poorly-drained soils.
Uses:
Best in beds, borders, wild gardens, open woodland areas, in front of shrubs or massed under trees. Best planted in quantity, i.e., from smaller groupings of at least 6 bulbs to large sweeping drifts. Mixes well with other spring-flowering bulbs.
