Daffodils Division 6


CYCLAMINEUS DAFFODILS Use: border, cut, naturalized, rckgdn


Distinguishing characters:


Characteristics of Narcissus cyclamineus predominant. The petals stream away in the wake of the long, slender trumpet; the form is unique, and each variety has a distinct (and often amusing) personality. These are the first hybrid daffodils to bloom in the spring.


February Gold (Y-Y) #D650 [Ht: 12", Bl: E]


Bright yellow trumpet-like flowers. Very robust, forming large colonies. Performs well even in the Deep South. Forces easily. Introduced in 1923.


Itzim (Y-R) #D658 [Ht: 12", Bl: E/M]


B


Like a little bird in flight, its yellow wing-like petals are dramatically reflexed and the narrow red trumpet propels forward. Color develops after opening. American bred.


Jack Snipe (W-Y) #D660


[Ht: 8", Bl: E/M] Well-formed bicolor, lightly swept-back white petals and a primrose-yellow, medium length crown. Will force. Naturalizes freely.


Jenny (W-W) #D665 [Ht: 10", Bl: E/M]


D


One of the finest in this division, a pure white. Jetfire (Y-O) #D667


[Ht: 12", Bl: E/M] Rich with color, the bright orange-red trumpet proudly emerges amid reflexed golden-yellow petals. Good for forcing and perennializing.


Peeping Tom (Y-Y) #D673 [Ht: 15", Bl: E]


A popular naturalizing daffodil. Bright yellow blooms sport a very long trumpet that juts forward from extremely reflexed petals.


❧ Prototype (Y-YPP) #D671 [Ht: 12", Bl: M]


E


An amazing and unique color combination in this class. Reflexed, overlapping petals are pale greenish-yellow, a backdrop for the rose-pink, cylindrical, loosely ribbed corona that flows to pale pinkish-yellow at the base.


Rapture (Y-Y) #D662 [Ht: 10", Bl: E]


Bright yellow flowers have strongly reflexed petals and a lightly ribbed and slightly flared cylindrical corona. Always show quality with consistently perfect form. A top notch garden performer, too.


Reggae (W-GGP) #D663 [Ht: 12", Bl: E/M]


D


This award-winner from Ireland displays a deep salmon-pink cup with green at the base and reflexed white petals. A shining star for the show bench as well as the garden.
