(Narcissus). A true beauty, draped in soft ivory white with a pastel peach trumpet that brings a sense of joy after winter’s gloom. These daffodils produce large blooms, standing 16-18 inches tall, and were named in honor of the White Flower Farm owner's granddaughter. Big and bright, they naturalize in sunny, well-drained spots and shine in various landscapes—from lining driveways to defining borders and flowerbeds. They're equally charming in pots or containers, bringing a touch of spring to patios, balconies, and windowsills.

Growing Tips, Tricks and FAQs

Growing Tips

Ruby Shu daffodil grows best in full sun, at least 6 hours daily, but can tolerate partial shade. It prefers well-drained, slightly acidic to neutral soil and does well in garden beds, containers, and naturalized settings​.

When to Grow

Plant Ruby Shu bulbs in the fall, ideally from September to November, just before the first hard frost of the season. This allows them to establish roots and prepare for blooming in early to mid-spring​.

How to Sow and Plant

Plant the bulbs 6 inches deep with the pointed end up. Space them 3-6 inches apart. Ensure the soil is well-draining. Water thoroughly after planting to help settle the soil and ensure root growth​.

How to Grow

Once established, Ruby Shu daffodils are easy to care for. Water them during the growing season, but reduce watering after the flowers fade. Fertilize lightly in spring when the leaves first emerge. Let the foliage die back naturally to help the bulbs store energy for the next season.

How to Save

These perennials will return and fill in year after year, making them a long-lasting choice for your garden. Over time, daffodil bulbs multiply and can be dug up and divided every 3-5 years to prevent overcrowding and ensure better blooming.

FAQ
