'Unsurpassable' Daffodil Bulbs

Unsurpassable Daffodil Bulbs

Unsurpassable is one of the largest of the pure yellow daffodils. It is a sensational plant; the huge flowers are some of the biggest in the daffodil world, well shaped with long, serrated trumpets while the colour is the deepest, richest gold of any of the daffodils and narcissi we sell or know.

While Unsurpassable will naturalise very happily, we think it is at its best in borders and containers where its large lustrous, golden flowers can put on a show to take the breath away. It is a big daffodil in every sense, growing up to 45cm tall so it is perfect for cutting. It flowers in March in warmer parts of the country and in April elsewhere. A must for any garden.

Plant Unsurpassable daffodils in borders, containers or to naturaliseb in grassy areas. Daffodils grow in most soils and locations but prefer full sun and well-drained, fertile ground that retains some moisture in the growing season. Almost all bulbs HATE being waterlogged.

Unsurpassableb should be planted about 10-15 cm deep. In grass and sandy soils, you can go a bit deeper.

Water in dry spring weather as late flowering daffs may not flower if they are too dry. Dead-head as soon as the flowers begin to fade, and let the foliage die back naturally for 6-8 weeks before mowing.

You can apply a high potash fertiliser during the growing season to help bulk up the bulb for next year. Lift and divide clumps of bulbs if flowering is poor.
