'plant a daft sheep' is the definition.
'amaryllis' can be an answer for 'plant' (I've seen this before). I'm not sure about the 'a daft sheep' bit.

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for amaryllis that I've seen before include "Showy bulbous plant" , "belladonna lily brought this about" , "Trumpet-flowered bulb" , "Sly alarm I turn on for the flower" , "Lily-like plant" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
