Daffodil Bulbs, Dinnerplate:

Description: (Narcissus). Breathtaking blooms as big as a dinner plate, these daffodils have impressive 5-inch petals, making them some of the largest we've ever seen! Delicate white, star-shaped outer petals encircle a frilly, flat trumpet of brilliant lemon yellow. Often compared to a sunny-side-up egg, we think they resemble a golden chalice on an ivory saucer. Dinner Plate won the RHS Award of Garden Merit in 2010, and its bold beauty shines in any vase or garden. With strong stems, they won’t droop, and like all daffodils, they naturalize over time, offering stunning spring blooms year after year.

Daffodil Bulbs, Popeye:

Description: (Narcissus). Mammoth blooms, 4.5 inches across with sunny yellow, double cups that are extra fancy and frilly. This sweetly scented early bloomer will reach 12-18 inches tall. Excellent for beds, borders, containers, and for planting en masse in the landscape.

Daffodil Bulbs, Ruby Shu:

Description: (Narcissus). A true beauty, draped in soft ivory white with a pastel peach trumpet that brings a sense of joy after winter’s gloom. These daffodils produce large blooms, standing 16-18 inches tall, and were named in honor of the White Flower Farm owner's granddaughter. Big and bright, they naturalize in sunny, well-drained spots and shine in various landscapes—from lining driveways to defining borders and flowerbeds. They're equally charming in pots or containers, bringing a touch of spring to patios, balconies, and windowsills.

Daffodil Bulbs, Von Sion:

Description: (Narcissus telamonius plenus). A most rugged and long-lived daffodil, this frilly extra-large variety has brought cheer to the landscape for 4 centuries! Von Sion dates back to 1620 and it’s no wonder this has remained a top choice for so long, it is stunning and the easiest breezy landscape plant.

Daffodil Bulbs, Warming Up:

Description: (Narcissus). These delicate pale yellow petals cradle a peachy pink trumpet, capturing the beauty of spring’s first sunlight. The blooms signal winter's end with their radiant, sunny hue. Valuable to pollinators, these flowers attract bees and butterflies with their abundant pollen and nectar. They look fantastic as a standalone superstar, popped into pots and containers, dotted amongst grass verges and driveways, planted along herbaceous borders with other spring flowers or at the base of trees, or spread out in fruit orchards.
