This striking butterfly daffodil features crisp ivory-white petals layered with a vivid tangerine-orange split corona that unfurls outward like delicate butterfly wings, creating a dramatic two-toned display unlike any standard daffodil. Fragrant, resilient and effortlessly stylish, Daffodil Orangery is a standout performer for Australian gardeners seeking something truly distinctive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 6.0pt;\"\u003eDaffodil Orangery belongs to Division 11a of the Royal Horticultural Society classification, the Split-Corona or Butterfly group. Unlike traditional daffodils, the trumpet is split into ruffled, frilled segments that lie flat against the pristine white perianth petals, producing a layered, almost orchid-like appearance. Each bloom can reach 8 to 15 cm across and is carried on a sturdy stem well above the green, strap-like foliage. The flowers are lightly fragrant with a sweet, pleasant scent, making them wonderful as cut flowers for indoor arrangements. Daffodil Orangery blooms during mid-spring and performs reliably in beds, borders and containers, returning each year with increasing vigour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 12.0pt 0cm 6.0pt 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: 3 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: Ivory-white petals with tangerine-orange split corona\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: 35 to 50 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: August to September (mid-spring)\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 to part shade\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, moderately fertile soil\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: High\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 12.0pt 0cm 6.0pt 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: 6.0pt;\"\u003ePlant Daffodil Orangery bulbs from March to May, once summer heat has passed and soil has cooled. Select a site in full sun to part shade with well-drained soil enriched with compost or organic matter. Plant each bulb pointed end up at a depth of 10 to 15 cm and space them 10 to 15 cm apart. Water thoroughly after planting to help settle the soil. For the most impactful display, plant in groups of five or more to create a bold drift of butterfly-like blooms. Choose a slightly sheltered position where possible, as the large, open flower form benefits from some wind protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 12.0pt 0cm 6.0pt 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: 6.0pt;\"\u003eMaintain moderate soil moisture throughout the growing and flowering season, but ensure the soil never becomes waterlogged. Daffodil bulbs are susceptible to rot if left sitting in wet conditions. After flowering, continue watering until the foliage begins to yellow, then allow the soil to dry as the bulbs enter dormancy. Feed with a balanced fertiliser such as NPK 6:6:6 or an azalea and camellia food once blooms have faded but before the leaves yellow, helping the bulbs build energy reserves for the following year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 12.0pt 0cm 6.0pt 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: 6.0pt;\"\u003eDeadhead spent flowers promptly to prevent the plant from wasting energy on seed production. Leave the foliage intact and allow it to die back naturally over several weeks after flowering. The leaves are essential for photosynthesis, channelling energy back into the bulb to fuel next season's blooms. Once the foliage has completely yellowed and withered, it can be gently removed. Avoid cutting, mowing or braiding the leaves while they are still green.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 12.0pt 0cm 6.0pt 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;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eCool and Alpine (ACT, VIC Highlands, NSW Tablelands): \u003c\/b\u003eIdeal conditions.

The bulbs contain lycorine and calcium oxalate crystals, which can cause nausea, vomiting and stomach upset. 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":51837447930168,"sku":"BULB-F-261","price":9.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0268\/5416\/2522\/files\/daffodil-orangery-pack-of-3-bulbs-9398072.jpg?v=1772300415","url":"https:\/\/www.happyvalleyseeds.com.au\/products\/daffodil-orangery-pack-of-3-bulbs","provider":"Happy Valley Seeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
