“Daffy-down-dilly has come to town” – if you remember this nursery rhyme you’ll appreciate the ruffly yellow petticoat of this split corona that almost covers the white perianth. Striking central stamens complete the unusual picture.
Narcissus are sturdy, long-lived perennials that naturalize well and make great cut flowers. They prefer rich, well-drained soil and attract early pollinators. Plant with early perennial companions whose foliage will disguise their maturing foliage which should not be cut or tied, although the flower stems may be cut down. Deer and rabbit resistant; known to be distasteful to squirrels and voles so place later-blooming tulip bulbs below them to deter those voracious diggers.
