The unusual form of Split-cup Daffodils gave rise to another name, the Butterfly (or Papillon) Daffodils. Their cups are separated into broad segments that seem to rest on the outer petals, thus resembling the insects' delicate wings. We assemble our bulb mix from at least 6 different Butterfly Daffodil varieties, chosen from the various color combinations possible in the group—white/orange, white/pink, white/yellow, yellow/orange, white/reddish orange, and yellow/yellow. Not labeled individually. Midseason to late midseason. 25 bulbs cover 5–6 sq ft.
Large, bright Narcissus blooms are for many gardeners the first visible signs of spring. These vigorous, long-lived bulbs thrive joyously in sunny, well-drained places, are shunned by hungry deer and voles, and will thrive and multiply with little care on your part, creating a glorious landscape and a horticultural legacy.
