Whorls of pale ivory petals give a Gardenia-like effect in this pre-1950 Double Daffodil, Narcissus 'Rose of May.' It was bred in Ireland by noted hybridizer Guy Wilson, who specialized in white varieties. Compact, often with two, 2½" flowers per stem, and scented—a great cut flower. Very late.
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.
