For The Bench

A colorful silver and gold jonquil, Oma seems a little more compact and bright than Edged in Gold and New Baby, although I have yet to compare them side by side. Newer release: this daffodil is not registered.

Online. Clive Postles bred richly colored and substantial large cup. Pollen and pod fertile.

The term IP used to to be an acronym solely for Internet Protocol, then expanded to include Intellectual Property and then In Progress and Instagram Post. The letters OP in horticulture usually refer to Open Pollinated . But daffodil Oops with a four generation family tree is anything but open pollinated. We usually sell out of Oops but have a larger number to offer this year, thanks to good old asexual reproduction.

We offer two White Orange Cyclamineus daffodils : Orange Comet and Bell Fly. But it turns out that this color combination is not common at all. Of these two Brent Heath's Orange Comet achieves a much more robust orange in the cup. For just a few dollars you too can put heavenly bodies in your beds, borders, containers and rockery. This cultivar is no longer commonly found in the trade.

Large cupped, smooth petals , clean edges, solid pink cup : Things are clean and orderly in the Palace. Palace Pink from Chanson, Dailmanach and of course Brian Duncan.

A daughter of Misty Glen with a whisper of a pink mist condensing on the rim. Palheiro is Portuguese for haystack implying perhaps the breeder recognized that he had plucked a needle from the bottomless daffodil gene pool. Late Bloomer.

Brian Duncan's refresh of the well-decorated English show daff Crowndale. Round and well structured, Paradale is a profoundly colored yellow and orange double daff.

Silvery and round small cup, with a delicate yellow rim on the cup. Park Springs is fifty years old, but still a cool and refreshing drink of water.

A full flavored cyclamineus, and a reverse bi-color one at that. We adore the sixes and try to list a lot, the only other reverse bi-cycli we offer is Lemon Silk, who is a cool sophisticate. But Peppercorn has a perky profile and is peppery all over. That flanged cup, oh baby that lasts long on the taste buds. By Ron ëHotstuffí Scamp. Just a handful to offer.

A really terrific cyclamineus for the garden and the bench, I cannot explain why Perky is not more widely adopted. From Grant Mitsch.

A more recent floriferous jonquil from Brian Duncan. Perpetua is all yellow and extremely late blooming.

Historically a lot of daffodil breeding has been by English-speaking men. But Petra Vogt from Germany is an outlier who doesn't even wear tweed. Her eponymous flower is so very nice, it can win on the bench and has "echten Wow-Faktor" in the border. Did you ever see anything like that rim?

This daffodil is unregistered, and has been known informally as Petra and Petra's. It is a healthy grower certainly suitable for the landscape.

There is a perfection about Petrel apparent at first sight : floriferous with a lovely white color, typically seven sharp profiled blooms per scape. One of Grant Mitsch's bird series. If you think triandrus are a bit boring Petrel will crack your prejudice. Once you have it you will be a bird watcher too. Petrel is fabulous in a well-designed garden bed, but unfortunately remains in limited supply.

The November birthstone Pink Topaz is also Kiwi pink trumpet with profound show bench potential. The deeper the pink color the higher the value.

A species on species jonquil cross by Grant Mitsch that is upright and fabulous in the garden.

We are lucky to have a few to offer as she makes her way back to a full recovery. A truly great jonquil for the bench and garden, North and South¹. ADS Miniature.

On the march to year round daffodils Polar Hunter is on the vanguard; an April / October romance of a fall blooming viridiflorus species crossed with a spring bloomer. Polar Hunter breaks ground in late winter and proceeds to blossom at a leisurely pace. Because of its conspicuous substance and long lasting abundant blooms, florists and landscape designers take notice of this attractive and truly remarkable cultivar.

A pink cup from Ron Scamp that is reminiscent of HighSociety but rounder and more prim. Polgooth is all about the judicious application of Pink Power.

A selection of White Pearl by Harold Koopowitz. Very floriferous with up to 20 florets per scape. Polly's Pearl is among a group of tazettas from White Pearl. Polly's Pearl is listed in Daffodils in Florida as satisfactory, while White Pearl is not. Polly is fertile both ways.

A Pompiere is a firefighter, narcissus Pompiere is a three-alarm yellow orange cup with a singular profile, with a narrow and extended colorful snout. Returns as a substantial garden plant, easy to pick a winning bloom. A more recent Veek introduction.

There is a back story to "Pops Legacy ". It originated in New Zealand but wasn't recognized until it was a seedling in Pennsylvania. The OPS stands for Open Pollinated Seedling. POPs makes a terrific flower that is so easy to show with a substance and readily apparent quality of bloom that really puts it apart from other White / Yellows. For me the real story is that for such a nice cultivar I have shockingly few to offer.

When tulips are fringed, their spiky rims denote them as a Crispin type . But daffodils don't have a cool term like "Crispy" to declare a prickly cup because they didn't need one, until now.

A strong grower, we previously listed as F129 , not registered.

Rapture is one of the most successful cyclamineus culitivars ever made, one that retains a lot of the pendant and narrow form of the species. Being a Mitsch seedling it is only natural that it is healthy and completely perennial across many growing conditions.Being a cyclamineus it is more shade tolerant than most daffs. It will anchor your rockery and pathways for a lifetime asking little in return.

Dr.Reed's Red Passion is show daff in all ways: color, proportion and rotund silhouette. Small numbers to offer.

Paradigmatic Yellow / Red large cup, Resplendent's cup is deeply colored and short. A tough and strong mid century modern bloom from Grant Mitsch.
