This Division 11a split-corona variety produces blooms that look as though delicate butterfly wings have settled among your garden beds, making it a true conversation starter every spring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 10.0pt;\"\u003eDaffodil Chanterelle is a tall, graceful variety with cream to pale yellow petals that carry just a hint of green. The broad, split cup is a bright lemon yellow and layers beautifully over the petals, almost overlapping them to create the distinctive butterfly silhouette that gives this group its name. Each bloom measures up to 8.5 cm across and carries a soft, pleasant fragrance. The flowers open mid season and hold their colour exceptionally well, making them outstanding as both garden performers and long-lasting cut flowers. Sturdy stems support the blooms through wind and rain, and the lush green foliage provides a handsome backdrop throughout the growing season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 6.0pt 0cm 5.0pt 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt;\"\u003eProduct Highlights\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoListParagraph\" style=\"text-indent: -18.0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; margin: 0cm 0cm 2.0pt 36.0pt;\"\u003e\u003c!-- [if !supportLists]--\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-list: Ignore;\"\u003e•\u003cspan style=\"font: 7.0pt 'Times New Roman';\"\u003e       \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!--[endif]--\u003eBulb count: 4 per pack\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoListParagraph\" style=\"text-indent: -18.0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; margin: 0cm 0cm 2.0pt 36.0pt;\"\u003e\u003c!-- [if !supportLists]--\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-list: Ignore;\"\u003e•\u003cspan style=\"font: 7.0pt 'Times New Roman';\"\u003e       \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!--[endif]--\u003eFlower colours: Cream to pale yellow petals with bright lemon yellow split cup\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoListParagraph\" style=\"text-indent: -18.0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; margin: 0cm 0cm 2.0pt 36.0pt;\"\u003e\u003c!-- [if !supportLists]--\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-list: Ignore;\"\u003e•\u003cspan style=\"font: 7.0pt 'Times New Roman';\"\u003e       \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!--[endif]--\u003ePlant height: 25 to 40 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoListParagraph\" style=\"text-indent: -18.0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; margin: 0cm 0cm 2.0pt 36.0pt;\"\u003e\u003c!-- [if !supportLists]--\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-list: Ignore;\"\u003e•\u003cspan style=\"font: 7.0pt 'Times New Roman';\"\u003e       \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!--[endif]--\u003eBloom time: July to August (Australian mid season)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoListParagraph\" style=\"text-indent: -18.0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; margin: 0cm 0cm 2.0pt 36.0pt;\"\u003e\u003c!-- [if !supportLists]--\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-list: Ignore;\"\u003e•\u003cspan style=\"font: 7.0pt 'Times New Roman';\"\u003e       \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!--[endif]--\u003eNaturalising: Yes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoListParagraph\" style=\"text-indent: -18.0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; margin: 0cm 0cm 2.0pt 36.0pt;\"\u003e\u003c!-- [if !supportLists]--\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-list: Ignore;\"\u003e•\u003cspan style=\"font: 7.0pt 'Times New Roman';\"\u003e       \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!--[endif]--\u003eSun requirements: Full sun with some wind protection\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoListParagraph\" style=\"text-indent: -18.0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; margin: 0cm 0cm 2.0pt 36.0pt;\"\u003e\u003c!-- [if !supportLists]--\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-list: Ignore;\"\u003e•\u003cspan style=\"font: 7.0pt 'Times New Roman';\"\u003e       \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!--[endif]--\u003eSoil type: Well-drained soil enriched with organic matter\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoListParagraph\" style=\"text-indent: -18.0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; margin: 0cm 0cm 2.0pt 36.0pt;\"\u003e\u003c!-- [if !supportLists]--\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-list: Ignore;\"\u003e•\u003cspan style=\"font: 7.0pt 'Times New Roman';\"\u003e       \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!--[endif]--\u003eFrost tolerance: Hardy, benefits from cold winters\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 10.0pt 0cm 5.0pt 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt;\"\u003ePlanting Instructions\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 8.0pt;\"\u003ePlant Daffodil Chanterelle bulbs from March to May, once summer heat has subsided and soil temperatures have cooled. Select a position in full sun with some protection from strong winds, as the broad, open blooms are best appreciated in a sheltered spot. Plant each bulb approximately 12 cm deep and 15 cm apart, with the pointed end facing upward. Water thoroughly after planting to settle the soil, then wait until green foliage emerges before watering again. For a striking container display, plant three bulbs in a 14 cm pot, six in a 20 cm pot, or ten in a 25 cm pot, spacing them close together for maximum visual impact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 6.0pt 0cm 5.0pt 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt;\"\u003eWatering and Care\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 8.0pt;\"\u003eKeep the soil moderately moist during the active growing period from autumn through spring, but avoid waterlogging. Once flowering is complete and the foliage begins to yellow, gradually reduce watering and allow the soil to dry during the dormant summer months. After the flowers fade, apply a balanced fertiliser that is low in nitrogen, such as an azalea and camellia food, or a dedicated bulb fertiliser. Daffodils appreciate potash and are not heavy feeders, so a light application is all that is needed to fuel next year's blooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 6.0pt 0cm 5.0pt 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt;\"\u003ePruning Advice\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 8.0pt;\"\u003eDeadhead spent blooms promptly to prevent the plant from wasting energy on seed production. Leave the foliage intact and allow it to die back naturally. The leaves are photosynthesising and storing energy in the bulb throughout this period. Do not cut, tie, or remove the foliage until it has turned completely yellow and collapsed. Once it has fully died back, it can be gently tidied away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 6.0pt 0cm 5.0pt 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt;\"\u003eClimate Zone Guide\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 6.0pt;\"\u003eCool and Alpine (ACT, VIC Highlands, NSW Tablelands): Chanterelle performs beautifully in cool and alpine regions where cold winters provide the natural dormancy period needed for strong flowering. Expect reliable mid-season blooms and steady naturalising.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 6.0pt;\"\u003eTemperate (Melbourne, Adelaide, coastal NSW): This is the ideal climate for Chanterelle. Plant in a sunny, well-drained bed and enjoy its distinctive butterfly blooms returning year after year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 6.0pt;\"\u003eSubtropical (Brisbane, coastal QLD): Results can be variable. Pre-chill bulbs in the refrigerator for six to eight weeks before planting to encourage flowering. Store away from ripening fruit during chilling. Chanterelle may be best treated as an annual in warmer subtropical areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 6.0pt;\"\u003eTropical and Arid (Darwin, Far North QLD): Not recommended without cold treatment. Butterfly daffodils require a sustained cool period to flower reliably and are unlikely to perennialise in tropical regions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 10.0pt 0cm 5.0pt 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt;\"\u003eImportant Warnings\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 8.0pt;\"\u003eAll parts of the daffodil plant, including bulbs, stems, leaves, and flowers, are toxic if ingested by humans, dogs, cats, and livestock. Keep bulbs stored safely away from children and pets. Wear gloves when handling bulbs as the sap can cause skin irritation in sensitive individuals. Do not plant near vegetable gardens where accidental ingestion is a risk. If ingestion occurs, seek medical or veterinary advice immediately.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Happy Valley Seeds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51837442752824,"sku":"BULB-F-258","price":11.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0268\/5416\/2522\/files\/daffodil-chanterelle-pack-of-4-bulbs-1248968.jpg?v=1772300414","url":"https:\/\/www.happyvalleyseeds.com.au\/products\/daffodil-chanterelle-pack-of-4-bulbs","provider":"Happy Valley Seeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
