Early Season
Narcissus
minor--A tiny version of a yellow trumpet, and one of
the first daffodils to bloom each season. The 4-6" plant and
small flowers make it ideal for the rock garden. Confusion reigns
amongst botanists working with Narcissus species, but it is
generally agreed that N. minor is native at least in Northern
Spain and the Pyrenees.

Heamoor - Gardeners and
exhibitors alike should find this early season double quite
desirable. Rounded flowers with regular layers of rich golden
yellow petals sit atop strong stems. The blooms have long lasting
quality whether displayed in a vase or left to accentuate a
planting scheme. This really is one of Ron Scamp's (U.K.)
must-haves, introduced in 1996.
4Y-Y $ 6 each
Bryanston
- An early, tall vivid yellow
daffodil with many capabilities, including Best in Show. The petals are wide and
smooth, and lie very flat. A good garden plant producing stout foliage from
impressive big bulbs. Always in high demand, and yet another of John Blanchard’s
healthy, multi-tasking introductions. 1977.
2Y-Y $8 each
Mid Season
Fresh Lime -
The
daffodil for the lovers of chartreuse. Although more subtle, this lime green
color has great carrying power in the garden, contrasting well with the wide
blue-green leaves. A very strong grower and lusted over by floral designers. I
first saw Fresh Lime in its breeder’s trade display in London, where it stood
out amongst the hundreds of varieties and thousands of flowers displayed. From
John Pearson of England, 1994.
1YYW-Y $9 each
Later Season
Hambledon
- This is a variety that is very hard not to notice when one
walks by--whether in flower or not. The plant’s wide robust
foliage speaks volumes about its garden vigor, and the
beautifully formed flowers are held at the proper angle for
viewing. Hambledon is a refreshing lemon yellow except for the
white halo at the junction of cup and petals, and it produces
wonderful bulbs. From John Blanchard of England, 1985.

Life - A
third jonquil hybrid along with Stratosphere and Oryx that I would never be
without. Happily, all three happen to be quite distinct in their colorations.
Life’s overall tone is a soft lemon, but has a halo of white surrounding the
small cup. The yellow of the center disc is most often suffused with a
delightful pinky-apricot color, plus carries the sweet scent that characterizes
the jonquil tribe. A healthy grower with 2-3 flowers per stem. A Mitsch
creation, 1979.
7YYW-Y $5 each
Stratosphere
- A vibrant late season all golden yellow jonquil hybrid that
lasts and lasts in the field and as a cut. The winner of the
first Wister award for excellence as a garden daffodil. The plant
is tall and sturdy, with typical rich green foliage of a jonquil.
Each rounded stem produces 1-3 scented blooms. The color code
indicates an orange cup, but I've never seen this happen in our
climate. It should naturalize well. As with all jonquils, place
them where they receive the hot summer sun. From Grant Mitsch of
the U.S.A., 1968.

Sun Disc
- Sun Disc flowers later than the
somewhat similar Sundial and comes with just one bloom per stem. It is perfectly
round and a bright light yellow. The circular disc cup starts out a deeper
yellow color. An easy miniature. From Alec Gray of England, 1946.
