The 'Gigantic Star' variety is an excellent representative of large-cupped daffodils. Its huge, up to 12 centimetres in diameter, bright yellow flowers with a distinct, sweet, vanilla scent attract attention wherever they grow. A cheerful bright patch that these daffodils form on a flower bed or lawn immediately evokes positive emotions. The unique look of these spring flowers brings nice change after the long winter sleep. The golden stars revive and refresh even old gloomy gardens and help create an illusion of floating colours. Daffodil forms ideal underbrush for trees and bushes. We recommend to plant it in the second row of your plantings. This plant is perfect for arranging open landscape areas. It can also be successfully grown in various containers that adorn balconies and terraces. You will achieve the maximal ornamental effect by planting at least half a dozen of daffodils together. The presented variety belongs to medium tall ones. It grows 30 to 60 centimetres tall and blooms in April.

The magnificent, brightly yellow narcissi flowers grow well on sunny sites, but will also thrive in partial shade. This species does not have any special requirements in regard to soil. The appropriate time for planting starts mid-August and lasts over September and October until November. It only needs a moderately fertile and moderately moist garden soil. All narcissi require watering during dry springs. The soil reaction should be slightly acidic or neutral. Narcissus is a plant fully resistant to frost and does not normally require winter covering, we recommend, however, to apply a layer of dried leaves or mulch in colder regions. Take the covering off when the vegetation period starts, water the plants and feed them with multi-component fertilizer. Daffodils can grow on the same site for 4 to 8 years. We recommend to excavate the bulbs every 2 to 3 years.
