Daffodils Division 2


LARGE-CUPPED DAFFODILS Use: border, cut, naturalized


Distinguishing characters: One flower to a stem; the cup is more than one-third, but less than equal to the length of the petal seg- ments. By far the most popular of all the divisions, possibly half of all registered varieties are long cups.
