Camelot Daffodils

Now here is a really proper, straight up daff! Camelot is a classic of its type with an award winning flower that is an even, pure gold throughout. The large cupped blooms appear in March/April and are circular with a deep, flared funnel that has an evenly serrated rim. The stems stand strong at 35-40 cm tall. Super healthy with a light fragrance, no wonder Camelot holds an Award of Garden Merit from the RHS; another reason why it is deservedly in our list of spring flowering daffodils for sale.

One of the things about Camelot, the seat of King Arthur, was that he introduced a round table so that no knight was more important than another. In the same way, this daffodil will do every job you can ever expect a daffodil to do equally well. It is a marvellous, strong cutting flower; its intense gold colour is a welcome inclusion in herbaceous borders; containers full of Camelot are the stuff of leprechaun's dreams and it will even compete with grass and naturalise easily along verges or down banks. Precede Camelot with Ellen or Sempre Avanti for contrast and to extend the season. And for the competitive gardener - and which of us is not? - with designs on next year's garden show, Camelot is a shoe-in for best in daffodil and much else!

Myth and Lore

As a company based in Somerset we definitely like references to King Arthur, Camelot, Avalon and so forth what with Glastonbury and Cadbury Castle being so close. There are a surprising number of plants named after the folk from these wonderful legends. So perhaps next on the list for any purchaser of Camelot should be The Lady of the Lake?

Plant Camelot bulbs in borders, containers and grassy areas where they naturalise well. In pots all daffodils need cool conditions because excess heat makes the flower buds die.

Daffodils and Narcissi flower best in a sunny spot in neutral to alkaline soil that is well-drained, fertile and retains some moisture while the bulb is growing.

Camelot daffodils should be planted about 10-15 cm deep. In grass where they are to be naturalised and in sandy soils, you can go up to 5 cms deeper.

It is a good idea to water in dry spring weather as later flowering bulbs may not flower if they are too dry. To increase bulbs size for the following year dead-head as soon as the flowers fade. Allow the leaves to die back for at least 6-8 weeks before mowing.

You can also apply a high potash fertiliser in the growing season to bulk up the bulb for the following year. Lift, divide and replant clumps of bulbs if flowering is poor or the bulbs are overcrowded.

Delivery: The basic delivery charge for orders of bareroot plants is £6.50 + vat, which increases to £12.55 + vat if you add any pot-grown plants, standard trees or fruit trees to the order.
Because couriers sometimes experience delays, we schedule delivery by week, not by day. Therefore, please plan your planting day for the weekend at the end of the delivery week or for the week following delivery, at the earliest.
We will email you the day before your plants are due to arrive.

*Surcharges to the Highlands and Islands still apply.

Payment: We do not charge your card until we begin to prepare your order for packing.

Guarantee: If any plants die within a year, we will replace them. We only ask that you follow our planting & growing instructions and sent us clear photographs of the dead plants in situ, so we can help to make sure that the replacement plants succeed. You only pay for the delivery of the replacements.

Please note that our guarantee is void if there is a hosepipe ban in your area: your newly planted hedging must be watered in dry weather while it is establishing. The best way to water is very thoroughly every few days: at least once a week if there is no heavy rain.

Our nursery has been supplying container grown and bareroot hedging plants to gardeners, farmers and town planners since 1949. Our website started in 2003, so we do understand the concerns that you may have about buying hedging plants online. If any of your plants are damaged when they arrive or if you are otherwise not satisfied with your order after you inspect it, please repackage it and contact us. We will give you a refund or send replacements and send a courier to come and collect the unwanted plants.
