Triandrus Daffodils
23 Cultivars Listed
The distinct and quickly distinguishable form of the triandrus division : always multiple, pendant flowers on the scape, reflexed petals and somewhat monochromatic in color. White or yellow only please, or perhaps a mix of the two. Often fragrant, but always standing somewhere between at attention and at ease. Triandrus make good mates, crossing well with jonquilla, large cups, small cups, and of course other triandrus. Triandrus bring architecture and mass to the border, interest and detail to the bench and an elegant spirit of repose to the pot and vase. You get a lot of bloom power with this division, which tends to bloom on the later side.

A recent yellow and white triandrus with modulating colors on its way to the final chorus. Floriferous, scented, and substantial with lovely color. A reverse bi-color. From Chipper , inherits the lovely velvety substance. Named after the Beatles record album released in 1969.
A record album was a disc that stored music and aural data in wavy grooves embossed in vinyl. See also the Fab Four.

A pink-cupped triandrus may be the rarest form in all of daffodildom. Akepa is perhaps the very first of its kind, from Grant Mitsch.

Here's a pedigreed child: poppy is a species jonquil and mumsy a species triandrus. Angel's Breath is a vigorous grower and should be widely adaptable. We also list her sister, Angel's Whisper, who is similar. About 20 years old, Tasmanian bred. Small and robust. ADS Miniature.

April Tears is an Alec Gray cross of species N.jonquilla and N.triandrus. An ol dfavorite of the division. Blooms too late to be of much use above zone 7a, Seed parent to the terrific Tripartite, similar to Hawera. Triandrus seem to prefer slightly acidic soil over alkaline.

Where were you when you first saw Chipper? A meteor shower of vertically pendant blooms with compound color leaving a trail of wavy and reflexed petals. One to start a collection with, one to end with. We hang out together with Chipper a lot in the Spring.

A delicate flower, a cross of Limequilla and species triandrus. Pale relexed petals, rich, pendant, and bulbous, cup. We find Churchfield Bells attractive and memorable in the mixed border, more than other triandrus, for reasons we cannot verbalize.

Triandrus and Jonquils have an affinity for each other, when they cross it doesn't get much better than this. Dainty Monique is spellbinding and petite. From New Zealand. an ADS miniature.

As the name implies, a tetraploid variant of the Triandrus Fairy Chimes. Limit five per order please.

You won't get a good enough seat in the Dress Circle to see Golden Symphony: she is poised, petite, pendant and perfumed. Part jonquilla thus the fragrance. From the prince of pizzicato Walter Blom. We assume that you can put this on the bench as a miniature. Will sell with allegro con brio.

A fertile tetraploid of Hawera from the late Theo Sanders. Scented.

We are guessing that this newer seedling from John Hunter is a viridiflora and triandrus cross. Like Polar Hunter and other spring fall viridiflora crosses Hunter Morn is early to break ground, durable and long lasting. Two to four blooms per scape.

Daffodil Mary Plumstead is an Alex Gray Triandrus Jonquilla cross. 2 to 5 blooms. ADS Classic

Our selection of Niveth, a historic Henry Backhouse triandrus.

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.

An extremely beautiful stem from Grand Mitsch, Ringing Bells is one of the most floriferous triandrus that we can think of. Beautiful white color and late, not a miniature in name but rather in spirit. Don't be shy : think May wedding bouquets.

A tiny, greenish yellow triandrus that is so wasp-waisted it looks like one half of an English Christmas cracker. Gets its sweet fragrance from its daddy, the jonquil henriquesii. ADS Miniature from Walter Blom.
5 W-W
An newer, all-white and vigorous triandrus from the nursery of Brian Duncan. Also a very good and improved candidate for the landscape and for cutting.

A small, not miniature, triandrus, yellow on yellow seedling from Brian S. Duncan. from Hillstar cross species.
