White Petals, Yellow Cup Or Rimmed Yellow

Early Season

Phalarope - Very few daffodils I grow begin blooming as early as this little flower does or last as long in the garden. Of true cyclamineus form, with swept back milky white petals and a long downward-pointing flared lemon yellow cup that truly reminds one of the long probing beak of the sandpiper-like bird it is named for. A Grant Mitsch flower registered in 1982.
6W-Y              $ 5 each

Bravoure - Robust is the word for this powerful grower and producer of flowers. The long cylindrical yellow trumpet has almost no roll at the end, giving it more of a "stovepipe" appearance. I believe this and Actaea are the only Dutch hybrids included in this list. From J.W.A. van der Wereld, 1974, and the Wister Award winner for 2002. 1W-Y              $ 4 each

Pinaroo - One year, back in the days when I was just fervently collecting daffodils instead of supplying them, I weighted my fall orders with varieties from the trumpet and long-cupped divisions that had white petals and yellow cups after noticing there were too few really good ones around. When spring arrived, Pinaroo’s obvious vigor and sharp color contrast attracted my attention right away. The petals are very white, and the long trumpet-like cup is a rich yellow. A wonderful garden and show flower from the Jacksons of Tasmania, registered in 1993.

Mid Season

Atholl Palace--Good garden doubles need that rare combination of strong stems to hold the flowers erect during rainy weather and buds that open reliably despite an early spring hot spell. You may have noticed very few double daffodils are included in this list. Atholl Palace was the first specialty variety I had enough stock of to sell that I believed had these attributes. I guess I should also mention its beautiful full flower of numerous white petals backing the bunched center of yellow petaloids. From Brian Duncan of Northern Ireland, 1989. 4W-Y.                   $ 5 each

Ardress - Not flashy, but oh so rock steady! The many, many blooms first open with creamy white petals and a pale yellow cup, but age slowly and without any loss of quality during the next three(!) weeks to a whiter perianth and an even more contrasting deeper yellow corona. From Brian Duncan of Northern Ireland, 1982. 2W-GYY.                   $ 4 each, 3/$10

Art in Bloom - A very nice bicolor trumpet bred in Holland that mysteriously was only cataloged for one or two seasons by the suppliers of Dutch grown bulbs to the U.S. It is tremendously stout in the garden, plus has the form, substance, and midseason flowering period that make it a reliable show flower. If the petals had a purer white color, this really would be a cultivar to reckon with. J. Gerritsen was the breeder and the variety was finally registered in 2000, the year after I last saw it offered to the American market.
1W-Y                   $ 5 each

Tater-Du - A peculiar little plant that should appeal greatly to the rock gardening crowd. It obviously belongs in the triandrus section, having several nodding flowers with reflexed petals on each stem. Yet, with its sometimes slightly twisted white petals and very wide and ribbed bowl-shaped yellow cup, it may not have the blue ribbon grace the Daffodil Show judges expect from the division. For the gardener though, Tater-Du has three traits not normally found with triandrus hybrids--ease of growth, rapid multiplication, and an extremely floriferous nature. A 1994 registration from England’s Ron Scamp.
5W-Y                   $ 6 each

Segovia - I'm just starting to get good solid experience with the miniatures, but from others who have grown lots of different ones for lots of years, I've heard some varieties can be a real challenge to keep growing. Segovia is not at all difficult though, and each show I attend usually has numerous examples of this flower to see. The small 2" bloom has broad, white petals and small yellow cup. A 10" plant suitable for the rock garden. From Mrs. Alec Gray of England, 1962. 3W-Y                  $ 3 each, 3/$8

White Petals, Yellow Cup Or Rimmed Yellow

Late Season

Montpier - Montpier inherits its seed parent Angel’s great perianth. The petals open with a greenish cast before going pure white a few days later, coinciding with an explosive growth spurt in their length and width. Its bowl shaped small cup is overall a very light yellow, but has deeper tones at both the base and rim. A tall, late-midseason show flower bred by Mary Lou Gripshover of Ohio, and registered in 1997. 3W-Y                    $12 each, 3/$30

Final Curtain - An open-pollinated offspring of ‘Grace Note’ that has the same exquisite coloring, yet is larger in all aspects and even later blooming (in fact, as its name implies, one of the very last daffodils to flower). Like its mother, the petals open with a greenish cast but soon go pure poeticus white. The small, ribbed, chrome yellow short cup has a deep green heart. Mary Lou Gripshover staged a white ribbon winner (best vase of three in the show) on Nantucket in 2006 that you just couldn’t take your eyes off of. She registered this selection from her Ohio garden in 1995.
3W-GYY                $15 each  3/$40
