Daffodils: Beautiful Varieties for Home and Garden (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781423668060)

Daffodils in a variety of colors delight the spirit and announce the beginning of spring!

Heralding rebirth, new beginnings, and the end of winter, daffodils delightfully uplift the spirits of all who gaze upon them. But yellow isn't all there is. Daffodils break the spell of winter with their large, trumpet-shaped blooms in shades of yellow, orange, and white. Their smaller sisters, paperwhites, are often force-bloomed in November and December for fragrant holiday displays.

While single-petalled daffodils are the most common garden variety, double-petalled beauties put on quite a show and are the pride of any home garden. A single bulb will propagate a whole cluster of flowers from year to year and are especially enchanting in meadows.

Plant bulbs fall through January if the soil is workable, for the most joyful spring blooms ever! A popular choice for bouquets, corsages, bridal bouquets, centerpieces, and forced-bloom gifts.
