'Cum Laude' is a split-corona daffodil with a particularly lavishly ruffled centre. The split corona lies on white petals in peach, yellow and salmon, later changing to a warm apricot pink. For around 40 years it has flowered reliably and generously.

About this variety

The corona of 'Cum Laude' is slit and so heavily ruffled that the flower looks almost double. Its colour changes: at first orange-yellow dominates, later turning to peach and a warm apricot pink. A salmon band often shows at the edge. The white petals frame this play of colour calmly.

At around 45–55 cm tall, it belongs in the middle of beds and borders. The large flowers make an impact in groups of ten or more. Lovely partners are apricot tulips, white grape hyacinths or dark blue forget-me-nots. Its unusual form also shows well in large containers. For an especially lush effect, plant it in autumn in two layers in a large container. That way the flowers stand close together in April, and the colour change of the coronas is even more striking en masse.

As a cut flower the blooms last a long time and are an eye-catcher in any spring bouquet. For decades it has proved itself as a long-lived garden variety that multiplies over the years. Voles and deer usually leave daffodils alone. It offers little to bees.

Planting

Plant the bulbs from September to November, 10–15 cm deep and 10–15 cm apart, tip upwards. A sunny or partially shaded spot with free-draining soil is ideal. Lightly filtered light helps to preserve the pink tones.

Care

Leave the foliage after flowering until it turns yellow. Pinch off faded flowers. In a lawn, only mow once the foliage has died back. Divide dense clumps after a few years. For mixed bouquets, stand the daffodils in water on their own for half a day first, as their sap makes other cut flowers wilt.
