Flower Bulb Plantings – 2015


Narcissus/daffodil "Cheerfulness"

Narcissus/daffodil “Cheerfulness”

There are other double daffodils, but for years, Cheerfulness has been No. 1. There’s really nothing else quite like it. The petals are a creamy white, and the exquisitely doubled centers are a ruffled mix of cream and lemon, sometimes with a tinge of pink. To top it off, each stem branches into a bouquet of up to three flowers.

Plant Cheerfulness in a spot where you’ll enjoy it up close. Because its beauty and fragrance will make it your garden favorite.
