New Introductions
83 Cultivars Listed
Our nursery list is constantly changing. The source of these new introductions are seedlings that we have acquired, grown, named and recently registered with the Royal Horticultural Society in England (RHS) . Our Year of Introduction reflects the year registered with the RHS, although the first year of flowering or selection by the breeder as a seedling with possibilities can be many years before that.
We are proud this year to offer many fabulous novel seedlings from the breeding programs of the late Walter Blom of the US and the late Theo Sandersof Germany.
New introductions are highly sought after and can be limited in availability, that scarcity being reflected in the price. Generally a successful introduction will fall in price in subsequent years. Cultivars that are slow to increase may stay expensive and may not be available every season.
That being said, while generally daffodil cultivars are longer lived than say tulips, no daffodil is forever: due to a lack of interest or a degenerative health crisis any cultivar can find itself dropped or discarded from the nursery. Occasionally a super star seedling will get called up to the major leagues, leaving the nursery entirely to be grown commercially in very large numbers in the Netherlands.
Note: we provide a programatic link for each daffodil to its corresponding entry in the excellent daffodils database from the American Daffodil Society ;Daffseek.org. For new registrations there may be a lag in the time it takes for the record from the RHS to get propagated into Dafseek, resulting in the gentle " L1 Nothing was found!" error. This is a temporary situation.

Bilbo, named for Bilbo Boggins of the Hobbit, is an older seedling from earlier in the career of the prolific Brian S. Duncan but new to our list in 2026. A pink-cupped daffodil, it is tall for a cyclamineus and can develop wavy character in the blooms. From foundling, but more upright and vigorous.

You get a lot of rosy acreage in this older American bred large cup. Bold Pink is just that, and a kind of unique coloring for this form of daffy.
2 W-P/O

A bright and early classic-shaped all yellow large cup daffodil from the van der Veek breeding program. Named Cock a Doodle Doo because of its early call-of-the-rooster nature and wake up sleepy head color. It is easy to rise early knowing that this is blooming in your garden. Included in the "Grow for Cut " category as it is specially good for forcing.
4 Y-W

What is your confectionery IQ ? Some call those little colored sugar dots, sprinkles, or nonpareils, we prefer the term Jimmies. Although Jimmies may refer to the dashes, rather than the Discodip dots. However you dip your ice cream or doughnuts it is a sweet sweet elevation. A multi -headed and broad-petaled jonquil. When more is more from the candy shop of Carlos van der Veek. New introduction.

This flawless David Jackson all white large cup has been around for a long while, and certainly around the world. From Tasmania Dust Up is new to our list.
7 Y-Y
This vigorous Jonquil is a selection, by Walter Blom, of the species N.rupicola (section Apodanthi). Registered twenty years ago we can only assume it was a parent for many of the descendants of his breeding programs. As a selection we assume that this bulbs is fertile both ways. An ADS Miniature.
7 W-Y
This idiosyncratic caffeinated jonquil is floriferous, reflexed, colorful and boldly spirited. Espresso is a novel van der Veek mashup that defies easy classification. We suspect that Espresso will find a place in the garden and in competition.

Often I wish there was a common term for large cupped daffs like this with a broad flat and bunched at the center corona. Like Slim Whitman, Pride of Lions, It's a Date, or Dinner Plate, Goudgele Rakker is all about that cup, with the perianth in a supporting role . New Introduction, According to the hybridizer: " Freely translated 'Golden Yellow Mate', this is what we sometimes say in Holland for a pint of beer." Will bring happy camaraderie to the mixed border for sure.
2 W-Y
A stellar, but older, just-registered, bi-colored large cupped seedling from Brian Duncan. As for the name, "Hard to Beat" may be accurate: in Ireland may be a bit "cheeky", but in New York that's just plain old chutzpeh. Coming to a daffodil show near you soon.

This registration was at first refused as there was an previous "Hassan" that no one alive has ever seen. I am guessing at the color classification. This Hassan is a vigorous grower and I think has a place in the landscape. A van der Veek introduction.
3 W-W
This new van der Veek introduction has a small frilly cup and is white all over like Hudson Bay late in the spring before the winter ice finally melts. A very tall and very late Daffodil. Henry Hudson's first trips to North America were financed by the British. The Dutch East Indies investors our bid the Brits to finance Hank's voyage to find the Northeast passage. As soon as Henry got his hands on those guilders he sailed due west and discovered not any passage at all but Manhattan instead.

An older all-golden show flower Nial Watson's Janet's Gold is always poised to perform in competition : form, color, substance. New to us this year.
11a Y-YYP
A new unregistered split-cupped seedling from Brian Duncan, Lady B is a descendant from Drama Queen.
11a Y-P
Here's a split cup that is calm and confident : soft yellow and soft pink in a broad and orderly perianth and corona formation. A John Reed seedling, it is newly registered in 2026 but the seedling number suggests that it is a cross from 2001. A lovely whispering presence of a bloom.
