Fall Bulbs - Daffodil
The Daffodil 'Sailboat', 'Narcissi jonquilla', a fall planted bulb, is a delicate beauty for the front of the border, in pots or in the rock garden. It is a free-flowering miniature with a yellow cup and an icy-white perianth. The blossoms last up to 4 weeks and appear in very early spring. They are great for mass plantings, containers, and borders.Sailboat bulbs, once planted, can remain in the ground for many years. They will multiply and produce the most abundant flowering results in the 2nd and 3rd year. If necessary, very large clumps of bulbs can be lifted as soon as the leaves wither, and then they can be divided and replanted as soon as possible. After flowering, let the leaves yellow before cutting them back. The plants are deer, rabbit, and squirrel resistant.
