A double sport of Ice Follies. It is just as hardy and reliable as its parent. Its one fault is that a bulb will sometimes revert to the single form. If this is offensive, I recommend simply tagging the bulb for removal. Daffodils are reliable naturalizers with long lasting flowers. Great for cut flowers or for announcing spring to the whole neighborhood. They bloom early and profusely. These bulbs are 10-12 cm around. These will produce one flower stem the first year and more ever after.
