How to grow Daffodil 'Tripartite'

  • Partial Sun

  • Medium

Pull off old flower heads after flowering and take off the developing seed head to conserve the bulbs energy. Allow the foliage to die back naturally after flowering, as the leaves make energy for the bulb to flower next season
If bulbs have been used in post, consider planting in the garden after flowering, to allow them to recover. Use fresh bulbs in your pots next autumn

Try to plant in a location that enjoys partial sun and remember to water moderately. Tripartite is generally regarded as a hardy plant, so this plant will survive close to or on freezing temperatures.

Growing Tripartite from seed

Not usually grown from seed as bulbs always take a number of years to flower. It is easier to divide an established clump, or pick off bulb offsets after flowering

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 3.9 inches (10.0 cm) and sow at a depth of around 5.85 inches (15.0 cm).

Transplanting Tripartite

Plant out the bulbs in the autumn in groups of at least three bulbs
Plant about 15 cm deep in grassy areas or along paths or under trees or hedges. Also good in pots and tubs if planted deeply.

Tripartite is hardy, so ensure you wait until all danger of frost has passed in your area before considering planting outside.

Harvesting Tripartite

Useful as a cut flower. Pick as a bud that will open in the vase

This variety tends to mature and be ready for harvest in mid spring.
