Narcissus – Bravoure

Daffodils are the most cost effective, pest-free, long-term perennial plants available and make wonderful companions with other bulbs, perennials, annuals and flowering shrubs. They grow in almost all areas of the United States as long as there is a discernible winter. They are pest-free and when given ample sunlight, water and proper nutrition, will provide early spring color for many years. They are divided into 13 divisions according to their flower shape and heritage, and we have put the American Daffodil Society’s descriptions in quotes (“ “) and caps at the beginning of each division. Daffodils should be planted in full sun or at least ½ day (8 hours) of direct sunlight after the leaves are on the trees and should be planted 3× the height of their bulb deep (3”–8”) in compost enriched soil. Daffodils are wonderful flowers to pick for arrangements.

"One flower to a stem; the cup or corona is as long or longer than the perianth segments (petals and sepals)." Trumpets usually produce larger bulbs than other divisions; often performs better in zones 3–7 than in the deep south; most have gray/green foliage ½”–1" wide and supply great focal impact in flower beds; 4–5 bulbs per sq. ft.; whz 3–8; 14/16 cm bulbs unless otherwise noted.
