Narcissus “Lyrids” 8W-Y (unregistered)
A short plant of relatively uniform scape production. Better for front row garden planting as a border or in containers. A bright, light gold-yellow, the corona has minimal to no fade even in heat waves. The floret form is similar to that of the much larger ‘Mont Crenel’, however with a smoother rim edge and less reflex. As a late winter season bloomer, the dark blue-green foliage has better frost resistance. Florets are of average size, with a very light fragrance. Of unknown fertility. Collected from an old garden site in the Natchez, Mississippi area.
NOTE: The Sara Van Beck tazetta and paperwhite daffodils are generally not hardy in cold climates with freezing winters. In frost-free climates (zones 8-11) these bulbs may be safely planted outdoors in autumn for late winter flowers. In colder climates with freezing winters, they are easily grown indoors for flowers during the winter months. Learn more at www.heirloomtazettas.com.
