With stunning colored blossoms lasting up to 4 weeks, the Daffodil 'Jetfire' is a must for your spring garden! It is a fall planted bulb, a unique free flowering variety, and has lovely orange-red cups surrounded by backwards curved petals. This strong performer is excellent for naturalizing, and it will come back more lush and beautiful each year. 'Jetfire' bulbs, once planted, can remain in the ground for many years. They will multiply and produce the most abundant flowering results in the 2nd and 3rd year.
'Jetfire' is easily grown in average, medium moisture, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade. It does best in organically rich, sandy loams that drain well. Plant the fall bulbs 4-6" deep and 3-6” apart in fall. The flowers usually face the sun, so bulbs should be grown with any shade areas at the rear of the planting.
Daffodils can be left undisturbed for a number of years. If necessary, very large clumps of bulbs can be lifted as soon as the leaves wither, and then they can be divided and replanted as soon as possible. After flowering, let the leaves yellow before cutting them back. The plants are deer, rabbit, and squirrel resistant. 'Jetfire' bulbs are best planted in quantities, so use them in groups for beds, borders, wild gardens, open woodland areas, or in front of shrubs or massed under trees.
