Tall Daffodils

Here is an intensely colored Orange / Red large cup that is fecund. Offspring include Rockin Goose, Cameo Flush and Hot Lava. Creag Dubh is daffodil for the competition and for breeding.

Broad white petals with a coy green eye. Much Sought after. ADS Historic, ADS Classic. Tall and late, it plays well with others: We put it on the May floral market. A bloom of great beauty and poise that defines elegance : one we cannot imagine living without. A proud parent both ways.

Evesham. Very few bulbs available.

We generally steer clear of flower cultivars with names like frustration, virulent, sickly , rotter, fungal, struggles and weakling. But Truculent has been around quite a while, enjoyed wide distribution world round and taken many ribbons in many shows over the years , so it must be agreeable enough. Lovely white small cup with a golden ring. Limited quantities.

Will Scarlet has been in the trade as long or longer than any other daffodil cultivar but we seldom see him around any more. Renown for his deep color and vigorous growth he was a commonly grown garden daffodil. Like many first generation crosses Billy boy is the product of two species daffodils : N. abscissus x N. radiiflorus var. poetarum.

Bill Welch's take on daffodil Avalanche. There is an easily recognized perfection to Miss Meliss blooms, she is genuinely tall, strong, floriferous, and fragrant. A truly great cultivar.

A posthumous introduction of a tall, all white tazzeta from William Welch. Early and good for forcing, bench quality, floriferous. As expected of a bulb baron selection, Starry Night is a superior cultivar all around.

Erlicheer is a long time favorite of southern gardeners and florists for nearly a century. It was however, being sterile, a genetic dead end until Bill Welch engineered a successful cross resulting in Rachel's Magic Spell. Unique in form for both a double and a tazetta this is a daffodil that is superior in all attributes: scent, stature, strength. If you grow for florists they will flock to this flower.
