Description

Narcissus Carlton is a bold, large-cupped daffodil that has earned its place as one of the most widely planted and reliable cultivars for large-scale Irish landscaping. It bursts into flower in early spring with a glowing golden-yellow perianth and a slightly deeper cup, creating a striking mass of sunshine across verges, parks, and commercial spaces.

Growing up to 45 cm tall, Carlton offers exceptional performance in a variety of soil types — including heavier Irish loams — and has excellent weather resistance. It thrives in full sun and light shade, and is well-suited for everything from municipal beds and roadside verges to estate lawns and public greenways. Its vigorous habit and tendency to naturalise reliably over many years make it ideal for low-maintenance, high-impact planting schemes.

In mixed bulb designs, Carlton combines effortlessly with contrasting cool-toned partners like Muscari armeniacum, blue Chionodoxa, or white Scilla. Its uniform flowering and strong stems also make it ideal for mechanical planting and bulk municipal orders, especially in areas exposed to wind and rain.

Whether lining a school driveway, filling community planters, or naturalising beneath deciduous trees, Carlton is a tried-and-true performer — consistent, bold, and seasonally uplifting.
