Horticultural Group

Horticultural Classification Codes

Horticultural Classification Codes are often given to genera which have a large number of species or cultivars. They are used to categorise cultivated plants based on specific, shared characteristics such as shape, colour, size or flowering time, and can be displayed as letters or numbers

For example:
Dahlia ‘Sunset Kate (Sin) = Single flower
Rosa ‘Marigold’ (HT) = Hybrid Tea

Split-corona daffodils mostly have solitary flowers, the corona split for at least half its length; in Collar-type cultivars the corona segments are usually reflexed, each lying on top of a perianth segment, forming an inner and an outer whorl of three

How to Grow

Cultivation

Plant bulbs at one and a half to two times their own depth in autumn. Will tolerate most soils but prefers a moderately fertile, well-drained soil that is constantly moist in the growing season. See daffodil cultivation for further information

Propagation

Propagate by removing offsets as the leaves fade in early summer

Suggested planting locations and garden types

  • Cottage and informal garden
  • Patio and container plants
  • Low Maintenance
  • Banks and slopes
  • Cut flowers
  • Flower borders and beds
  • Wall side borders

Pruning

Deadhead flowers as they fade and allow the leaves to die down naturally

Pests

May be susceptible to slugs, large narcissus bulb fly, narcissus eelworm and bulb scale mite
