Winner of the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit. Howera is a small, species type triandrus Hybrid. It grows just 6" tall in most situations. The fragrant, pale yellow flowers come 1-3 per stem. 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 small but blooming sizel at 7-8 cm around. These will produce one flower stem the first year and more ever after.
