Here are some selected cultivars that we think your Florists will love. Quantity pricing in 25's.

A recently introduced double that is most like a lotus blossom when it opens a mild- yellow with an alluring symmetry. As Ambon matures into clear white and yellow it gets wide and wild. You will easily be able to select a very stunning bloom. Best as a stem, in the landscape Ambon blooms a bit in the leaves. This Daffodil is named for a city in the Moluccas in Indonesia, once a Dutch colony.

This long celebrated double is new to our list. She is a magnificent creature and as old as the hills, as fresh as the dawn. Good for all uses and certainly as a conversation piece. I seldom see Butter and Eggs on the bench, but in a historical group certainly one to have. Fabulous and luxurious North, South, East, and West.

We planted Littlefield up the street in the neighbor’s vineyard, next to the parking lot, where he competes with mugwort, compacted soil and road salt in an open northern exposure. A large, tall and late jonquil that returns robustly year over year. When the sun hits that green eye , combined with the ever -changing orange on orange color, and the scent : oh Baby ! Signed, sealed and delivered. A truly great Jonquil, I was surprised when it popped up on the list. Quantity pricing.

A colorful split cup , one that has performed well for us over the last decade. Can be quite variable in color, perhaps the rich, contrasty color is influenced by cool spring temperatures. The form of the cup also can be variable, well split or nearly round. Quantity discount.

Viridiflora daffodils come from species that bloom in the fall. On the march to year round daffodils Polar Hunter is on the vanguard; an April / October romance. We are unsure of the actual provenance of this bulb, but it is reputed to be very hardy and will start blooming early and finish in its own sweet time. Floriferous. Remarkably green and long lasting in the vase, we are hoping the florists take notice.

Snipe is early and photogenic. Extremely perennial and cyclamineus proud. A truly great cultivar that is at home in the rockery and in the pot. We are offering it in the cut flower category, its blooms are too small to cut, but forced in a pot it is long lasting and adorable : we think the florists will know how to use it.
