The Cassata daffodil (Narcissus) is a variety whose split corona does not resemble trumpet-shaped cups of traditional varieties, but rather looks like an additional petal whorl embedded in the centre of the flower. This forty centimetres (sixteen inches) tall daffodil blooms at the end of April and can be admired in all of its glory in the first half of May. And there is a lot to see: its huge flowers take on a warm, creamy-yellow colour, while the split cup is lemon yellow and has fringed, decorative edges. Cassata daffodil immediately attacts attention with the unusual tenderness of its shape and colour, particularly when grown in groups. Cassata's unpretentious flowers are predestined for single-variety plantings. You can also try combining them with white-orange and white-yellow daffodils. As for other species, hyacinths, single and double early tulips, grape hyacinths, early irises, and crown imperials are the best company for the presented daffodil. Plant daffodil bulbs in loose, permeable, fresh, and humus soil. The site should be open and sheltered, sunny or partially shady, e.g. under tall deciduous trees.
