Las Vegas Daffodil Bulbs

Las Vegas Daffodils

Las Vegas is a scented, creamy white daffodil with a buttercup yellow trumpet. It is unclear if it was named to represent the silver and gold of winnings in the casinos of Las Vegas or the beauty of the showgirls there. Either way, the name works and Las Vegas is an odds on bet for any garden. We classify it as reaching 45cm, but in the right conditions the flowers, which are large and upright, can be carried on stems of up to 60 cm, which makes Las Vegas a superb cutting daffodil.

This is one of the best of the bicolour daffodils appearing in March with clockwork regularity and reliability producing large, long lasting blooms whether it is grown in flower beds, cutting borders, containers or in grass where it naturalises very well indeed. Just a great all round performer - a bit like one of those showgirls! - it barely needs distraction but to ring the changes you could add in a few Ice Follies or Ellen (very similar but flowers a month earlier) to keep the bicoloured theme going.

Did You Know? 

It is always a good idea when contemplating daffodils to ponder on poor old Echo who more or less cried herself to death because Narcissus spurned her love. Narcissus then met his own watery end by falling in love with his reflection in a pond.

Las Vegas daffodils are suitable for borders, containers and grass where they naturalise well.

Daffodils and Narcissi grow in most soils and locations but prefer full sun and soil that is fertile, holds some moisture while the bulb is growing and is neutral to alkaline pH.

Las Vegas should be planted about 10-15 cm deep. However in grass and in lighter soils, they can go a bit deeper.

Water in dry spring weather - late flowering daffs tend not to flower if too dry. Dead-head when the flowers fade, and do not mow until the foliage has died back naturally for 6-8 weeks.

To give the bulbs a boost, apply a high potash fertiliser during the growing season. Lift, divide and replant overgrown and non-flowering clumps of bulbs.
