Tahiti is one of the most celebrated double daffodils in cultivation. It is fragrant, sturdy-stemmed, heat-resistant, and reliably vigorous year after year. Its camellia-like blooms are 3-4 inches across and carry a strong, sweet scent that makes it as welcome in the vase as it is in the garden.

Set bulbs 6 inches deep with the pointed end up and space them about 6 inches apart. Full sun produces the most vigorous blooms, though partial shade is tolerated. Daffodils need 12-18 weeks of cool temperatures to bloom, which they receive naturally when planted outdoors in the fall. Because the double blooms are large and heavy, a spot with some shelter from strong winds is worth considering — wet blooms can weigh stems down after spring rain, though Tahiti's stems are notably sturdy compared to other doubles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAllow the foliage to die back naturally after blooming — cutting it back early weakens the bulb and reduces next year's flowering. A balanced, slow-release fertilizer applied in fall at planting and again in early spring as shoots emerge will support strong growth. Tahiti is one of the most reliable naturalizers in the double daffodil class, returning year after year and multiplying steadily into larger clumps over time. Divide clumps every several years if vigor or bloom size begins to decline.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTahiti Double Daffodil in the Flower Garden\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTahiti's blooms are among the most visually dramatic of any spring bulb — fully double, roughly camellia-shaped, with multiple layers of rich golden-yellow petals interspersed with vivid orange-red ruffled segments at the center. The color contrast deepens as the bloom matures, giving it a warm, almost tropical character that stands out even from a distance. The fragrance is strong and sweet. Stems are sturdy and hold up well to spring weather, which is not always the case with double daffodils. Bees are drawn to daffodils early in the season when few other nectar sources are available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eLandscape Use of Tahiti Double Daffodil\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTahiti is effective in borders, beds, and mass plantings, and naturalizes exceptionally well for a double variety. It pairs beautifully with late tulips, bluebells, and other mid-spring perennials. As a cut flower, it is outstanding — condition stems separately from other flowers for several hours before arranging, as daffodil sap can shorten the vase life of other blooms. Like all daffodils, Tahiti is completely ignored by deer and rodents.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout Tahiti Double Daffodil Garden Bulbs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTahiti was bred in Ireland in 1956 and has become one of the most widely grown and recognized double daffodils in the world. It has received both the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit and the Wister Award from the American Daffodil Society — the latter being one of the most prestigious honors in the daffodil world, awarded only to varieties of exceptional garden merit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is classified as a Division 4 double daffodil under the RHS system, a group that includes varieties with multiple layers of petals, petaloid segments, or both. Many doubles in this class are sweetly fragrant, and Tahiti is one of the finest examples.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll parts of the daffodil are toxic if ingested, containing alkaloids including lycorine. Handle bulbs with gloves if you have sensitive skin, as the outer layer can irritate on contact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMake Planting Bulbs Easy with a \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.trueleafmarket.com\/products\/japanese-bulb-planter-garden-hand-tools\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBulb Planter Hand Tool\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e!\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTips From Our Gardeners\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike most daffodils, which can be cut in bud, Tahiti is best harvested for the vase when the blooms are fully open — the double form does not continue to develop as well after cutting as single-flowered types do. Let them open fully in the garden first, then bring them in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"width: 20.7517%;\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" height=\"89\" width=\"89\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2016\/2681\/files\/jerry-sawyer-compressed.jpg?v=1653940293\" alt=\"Jerry Sawyer\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd style=\"width: 75.2483%;\"\u003e \u003cem\u003e- Jerry Sawyer, True Leaf Market Writer\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\n\u003ch4\u003eTahiti Double Daffodil Flower Bulbs Per Package:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10 Bulb Bag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNon-GMO Tahiti Double Daffodil Bulbs are available for \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/trueleafmarket.com\/pages\/shipping-information\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFast Free Shipping\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e on qualifying orders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c!--split--\u003e\n\n","brand":"Mountain Valley Seed Company","offers":[{"title":"10 Bulbs","offer_id":45106183372915,"sku":"83895","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2016\/2681\/files\/1779908929_daffodil_double_tahiti_comp_98b9a6c6-d989-4d74-a90b-6d7664128ddc.jpg?v=1781577934","url":"https:\/\/store.trueleafmarket.com\/products\/daffodil-bulbs-double-tahiti","provider":"True Leaf Market","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
