  • Description

  • Notes

Daffodils are spring flowering bulbs that offer amazing color and bloom at a time when most garden perennials are only just waking up. They are divided into 13 divisions, which refer to the size of the cup or corona, and the perianth (or petals) and their relative sizes to each other. Some are fragrant. Colors are in the whites, yellow, oranges, pink, apricot, and so one, and many with different cup and perianth colors. All are perennial, some naturalize, a few are not cold hardy (the paperwhites come to mind).
