N. ‘Sunlight Sensation’ – Midseason

12–16"

We are very pleased to offer this new and unique introduction from Brent Heath. ‘Sunlight Sensation’ is a free-flowering daffodil with up to five stems per bulb and two to four florets per stem. It has a fruity fragrance and deep green leaves. N. ‘Thalia Sun’ – Midseason 16–18" New in 2011, this sport of ‘Thalia’ has up to four star-shaped flowers per stem. A slightly reflexed, glistening white perianth surrounds a cup-shaped, light greenish-yellow crown. Beautifully fragrant, this bulb is in short supply.

Division VI—Cyclamineus Narcissus The graceful trumpet-like cup (corona) has flared petals (perianth segments). The foliage is small and low growing. All are very early flowering and perform well in borders and containers. They are also good for naturalizing and forcing. N. ‘Cha Cha’ – Midseason to Late 8–12" With unusual colors for this division, ‘Cha Cha’ shows pure white, reflexed petals with a lovely, long warm-pink cup and green base. It was registered in 1986 by the renowned daffodil hybridizer from Northern Ireland, Brian Duncan. N. ‘February Gold’ – Early 12–14" This very early-flowering selection has sulfur-yellow petals and a yellow-orange cup. An heirloom from 1923, it is excellent for forcing and naturalizing. “On a gray spring day, the reflexed flowers are a delight.”— Boyce Tankersley, manager, living plant documentation N. ‘Jack Snipe’ – Early 8–10" Reflexed, creamy white petals that blend to yellow at the base surround the buttercup-yellow trumpet of this early bloomer.

N. ‘Jetfire’ – Early to Midseason 12–14" This lovely flower has reflexed yellow petals that sweep away from the bright red-orange cup. It is a reliable selection that is one of the best to perennialize.

Narcissus ‘February Gold’

N. ‘Mother Duck’ – Early 8–12" This distinctive dwarf daffodil has creamy reflexed petals edged with a broad lemon yellow stripe and delicately frilled mouth. N. ‘Prototype’ – Midseason 10–14" A rose-pink trumpet surrounded by reflexed, greenish-yellow petals distinguishes this charming and unusual flower. N. ‘Rapture’ – Early 12–14" With petals that sweep away from the cup, this nodding yellow daffodil resembles a shooting star.

Division VII—Jonquilla Narcissus Jonquilla daffodils have many small flowers per stem, with a honeysuckle or jasmine fragrance. The dark green, reed-like foliage is finer than that of most daffodils. These varieties thrive in hot summers. They are good for naturalizing, bedding, and cutting. N. ‘Beautiful Eyes’ – Midseason to Late 12–18" Ivory white petals contrast handsomely with the bright orange corona. There is a golden yellow halo at the base. N. ‘Bell Song’ – Late 12–14" This strong-growing, American-bred variety is white with a very smooth salmon-pink cup. It has a delicate sweet fragrance.
