Large Cupped Daffodils
105 Cultivars Listed
Large Cupped is the largest demographic in daffodils, a completely man-made part of the genus where the majority of modern cultivars end up. It is a repository of beefy show daffodils, upright landscape varieties and everything else in between in all color combinations and all cup variations. A kind of a catch-all category. About a third of our list year to year is comprised of Large Cups.
Large Cups are defined as " One flower to a stem, corona (cup) more than one-third but less than equal to the length of the perianth segments (petals)."
