Nursery contributed plant descriptions

I remember these as the only daffodils which came back each year from a mix I planted in my childhood . These are reliable naturalizers with long lasting flowers. Great for cut flowers or for announcing spring to the whole neighborhood. They bloom early and profusely. Ice Follies are the second most numerous daffodil in the world, and there's a reason! Bulbs are 14+ cm around and will produce 2+ flowers per bulb the first year, and more ever after.
