Daffodil ‘February Gold’

A cluster of daffodil 'February Gold' blooming in early spring.

* Common name: Daffodil ‘February Gold’

* Botanical name: Narcissus ‘February Gold’

* What it is: A winter-hardy, dwarf, early-spring-blooming bulb with hanging, bright golden cup-shaped flowers. One of the earliest and most compact daffodils.

* Size: 8 to 10 inches tall.

* Where to use: Great massed around trees, in rock gardens or in any garden bed to add a big splash of early color. Also makes a nice edging plant along walks. Sun or part shade.

* Care: Plant bulbs now and flowers will bloom each March and increase their spread for many years. Scatter ground with Bulb-tone, Bulb Booster or a balanced organic fertilizer each spring. Cut flower stalks after bloom but wait until leaves yellow or brown before cutting them to ground later in spring. Bulbs can be dug and divided at leaf cutback time if you want to move any.

* Great partner: Interplant with dark-purple hyacinths, which peak at about the same time in very early spring.
