GENERAL DESCRIPTION

 “CUM LAUDE” IS WHAT IS KNOWN AS A SPLIT-CORONA DAFFODIL. THE DAFFODILS IN THIS DIVISION HAVE A VERY UNUSUAL FORM. THE TERM “CORONA” IN THE TITLE REFERS TO THE CUP (OR TRUMPET) Of THE DAFFODIL. THE CUP IS SPLIT FOR AT LEAST ONE-HALF OF ITS LENGTH, CREATING AN OPEN, UP-FACING BLOSSOM, INSTEAD OF THE TYPICAL TRUMPET. AS A RESULT, MANY OF THE FLOWERS LOOK MORE LIKE A HIBISCUS THAN THEY DO A DAFFODIL. THEY ARE FURTHER DIVIDED INTO 2 GROUPS COLLAR DAFFODILS AND PAPILLON DAFFODILS.

“CUM LAUDE” IS A COLLAR SPLIT CORONA AND A STUNNING BUTTERFLY DAFFODIL HAVING THE CORONA ARRANGED IN TWO WHIRLS OF THREE SEGMENTS WHICH ARE SAID TO RESEMBLE BUTTERFLIES. BUTTERFLY DAFFODILS ARE SOMETIMES CALLED ORCHID DAFFODILS OR SPLIT-ORCHIDS AND ARE EXTREMELY PRETTY.

THE FRILLY, RUFFLED CORONA OF “CUM LAUDE” AGES TO APRICOT PEACH, LAYING SOMEWHAT FLAT AGAINST IVORY WHITE REAR PETALS OF THE PERIANTH. THE FLOWERS ARE ALWAYS SOLITARY, ON TALL STEMS.

OVERALL THESE ARE SOME OF THE SHOWIEST DAFFODILS EVER, ESPECIALLY FOR MASS PLANTINGS.

LIKE ALL DAFFODILS “CUM LAUDE” IS A SUPERB CUTFLOWER, A HIGHLIGHT IN ANY FLOWER ARRANGEMENT AND IN THE LANDSCAPE, IT PAIRS WELL WITH SPRING BLOOMING PERENNIALS AND SHRUBS.  IT IS ALSO WONDERFUL FOR PLANTING IN SHOWY MASSES. WHEN YOU SEE A CLUSTER OF THESE EXQUISITE DAFFODILS COME UP IN THE SPRINGTIME. WE ALL LIKE TO SEE DAFFODILS POKING THEIR HEADS THROUGH AFTER A COLD WINTER.

THESE ARE SOME OF THE EASIEST BULBS TO GROW. THEY PREFER FULL TO PART SUN AND REQUIRE AVERAGE FERTILE SOIL. AFTER BLOOMING, IT IS GOOD TO LET THEIR GREEN TOPS PHOTOSYNTHESIZE TO ALLOW THEM TO STORE PLENTY OF FUEL FOR NEXT SPRING’S DISPLAY. ONCE THEIR LEAVES START TO TURN YELLOW, THEY CAN BE CUT TO THE GROUND. DIVIDE THEM IN SUMMER IF BLOOM OR VIGOUR DWINDLES. THE PLANTS ARE DEER, RABBIT AND SQUIRREL RESISTANT.
