'Cornish Dawn' is a sweetly scented daffodil with bright yellow petals and an orange cup. It flowers in March and April and becomes more free-flowering year by year. A cheerful variety for beds, pots and the vase that also copes well in a meadow.

About this variety

'Cornish Dawn' shows the classic look of a spring daffodil, but with scent. The petals are bright yellow, with an orange cup at the centre. How strong the orange turns out varies from year to year and depends on the weather. Several flowers per stem make each plant a small bouquet.

At around 35–45 cm tall, it suits the middle of beds and borders, pots and meadows. Plant it where you walk past, so you can enjoy the scent. Lovely partners are blue squills, white hyacinths or the young foliage of daylilies, which later hides the yellowing daffodil leaves. In pots on the patio you can underplant it with violas, which keep flowering into early summer.

As a cut flower it brings colour and scent indoors. Over the years the bulbs form dense clumps and flower ever more generously. Voles and deer usually avoid daffodils, so it also thrives in rural gardens. It is of little importance to bees.

Planting

Plant the bulbs from September to November. Set them 10–15 cm deep and 10–15 cm apart, tip upwards. Sun to partial shade and free-draining soil are ideal. In a meadow, make individual holes with a dibber.

Care

Let the foliage turn yellow after flowering before you remove it. You can pinch off faded flowers. In a meadow, wait to mow until the leaves have died back. Divide dense clumps after a few years. Freshly cut daffodils release a slime into the water that harms other flowers: stand them on their own for a few hours before mixing them.
