This award-winning double daffodil produces spectacular, fully double blooms packed with layers of golden-yellow petals and vivid vermilion-orange ruffled centres, resembling a luxurious peony more than a traditional daffodil. Vigorous and prolific, Daffodil Tahiti is one of the finest double daffodils available for Australian gardens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 6.0pt;\"\u003eDaffodil Tahiti is classified as a Division 4 Double Narcissus by the Royal Horticultural Society. The blooms are large, reaching approximately 11 cm across, with multiple rows of golden-yellow petals interspersed with deep orange-red interior ruffles, creating a rich, layered effect. Each flower is carried on a sturdy, upright stem that holds its weight well, even during spring rain and wind. The blooms are lightly fragrant and make exceptional cut flowers. This variety is a recipient of the prestigious Royal Horticultural Society Award of Garden Merit and the Wister Award from the American Daffodil Society. Daffodil Tahiti blooms during mid to late spring and is an excellent naturaliser, forming generous clumps that return with increasing vigour each 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;\"\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: Golden-yellow petals with vermilion orange-red centres\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 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: September to October (mid to late 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, excellent naturaliser\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 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: 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 Tahiti bulbs from March to May, after the summer heat has passed and soil temperatures have cooled. Choose a location 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 settle the soil. Because the double blooms are heavier than single-flowered varieties, select a sheltered position for the best upright display. Plant in clusters of five or more for a dramatic effect.\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;\"\u003eKeep the soil moderately moist during the growing and flowering seasons, but avoid overwatering or allowing it to become waterlogged. After flowering, continue watering until the foliage begins to die back, then reduce watering to allow the bulbs to rest during dormancy. Apply a balanced fertiliser such as NPK 6:6:6 or an azalea and camellia food once the blooms have faded but while the foliage is still green, to help the bulbs store energy for next year's display.\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;\"\u003eRemove spent flower heads after blooming to prevent the plant from directing energy into seed production. Do not cut or remove the foliage while it is still green. Allow the leaves to die back naturally, as they play a vital role in replenishing the bulb's nutrient reserves for next season. Once the foliage has completely yellowed, it can be gently tidied away. Divide established clumps every three to five years if flowering begins to decline, lifting and separating offsets after the foliage has died back.\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, 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":51837448978744,"sku":"BULB-F-262","price":11.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0268\/5416\/2522\/files\/daffodil-tahiti-pack-of-3-bulbs-5311149.jpg?v=1772300414","url":"https:\/\/www.happyvalleyseeds.com.au\/products\/daffodil-tahiti-pack-of-3-bulbs","provider":"Happy Valley Seeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
