Large-cupped daffodil (Division II). Large-cupped daffodils are perhaps the most popular of the twelve daffodil divisions. 'Bantam' rises 8-10\ tall in early spring. Each flower features yellow petals and a red-rimmed, orange cup. One flower per stem. Blooms in late mid-season (April in the St. Louis area). Excellent fresh cut flower."

Easily grown in average, medium, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade. Plant bulbs 5-6\ deep in fall. Bulbs prefer a neutral to slightly acidic, sandy loam. After the flowers have bloomed, the top portion of each flower stem may be removed to prevent seed formation, but foliage should not be cut back until it begins to yellow. Flowers usually face the sun, so bulbs should be grown with any shade areas at the rear of the planting. Bulbs can be left undisturbed for a number of years. Propagation by bulb division is easiest."
