Avalon’s big blooms are initially yellow in early spring, but as they age, the colour changes to a soft creamy lemon. It's a large cupped daffodil that looks great when planted in generous drifts through the border, but it can also be used to naturalise in areas of taller grass. - Garden care: Plant 10-15cm (4-6in) deep from late summer to early autumn. After flowering feed with a balanced fertiliser, deadhead and allow the leaves to die back naturally.
- Humans/Pets: Harmful if eaten; skin irritant
