Daffodil
Narcissus
Daffodil is the common name for, Narcissus. These showy spring-blooming bulbs come in a variety of sizes, colors, and forms with some being extremely fragrant. Daffodils are perfect for planting between shrubs, as a border, or containers both indoors and outside.
The Daffodil flowers are yellow or white, with six petals and a trumpet-shape central corona. They can grow to be 12″ to 16″ tall.
Here on the Outer Banks with our longer growing season bulbs should be planted about 2 to 4 weeks before the ground freezes; late November to early December. Soil temperature should be below 60 degrees.
