Autumn Daffodil Plant Profile

 

Autumn Daffodil Plant Profile

Autumn Daffodil (Sternbergia lutea) is also known as fall daffodil, winter daffodil, or yellow autumn crocus. Despite the bright-yellow color, it really does look more like a tall crocus, than a daffodil.

The Autumn Daffodil is an heirloom pass-along bulb that is experiencing a resurgence of popularity.

It is hardy to USDA zones 6 to 9. Autumn Daffodil is native to Greece and the eastern Mediterranean. It's also found in southern Europe.

It is related to Amaryllis and is deer-resistant and vole-proof.

When ordered from a bulb catalog, the bulbs will arrive in late summer or early autumn and should be planted right away.

After planting the bulbs, they may take a year or two to acclimate, but after that they should reliably bloom each fall and increase a bit every year.

It prefers well-drained soil and a mostly sunny location. It does best planted in a spot with a southern exposure and a bit of extra straw mulch in colder climates.

The foliage stays up all winter leaves and grows to about 10-inches tall.          

The bulbs can be lifted and divided before the leaves die down in late spring.
