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: Bulbocodium daffodils usually have solitary flowers, with insignificant perianth segments compared with the dominant, usually broad funnel-shaped corona

How to Grow

Cultivation

Grow in a cold greenhouse, bulb frame or alpine house in free-draining compost (e.g. 2 parts peat-free, loam-based compost to 1 part grit). Allow to dry out completely during summer dormancy, repotting into damp compost in early autumn. See also daffodil cultivation

Propagation

Propagate by seed sown as soon as ripe in a container in a cold frame, or by separating offsets in early autumn before the roots start to grow

Suggested planting locations and garden types

Patio and container plants
Conservatory and greenhouse

Pruning

Deadhead as flowers fade and allow foliage to die back naturally

Pests

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

Diseases

May be susceptible to narcissus basal rot, narcissus leaf scorch or daffodil viruses
