Narcissus 'Erlicheer'

This is a choice daffodil for gardeners in warm regions, or for anyone to force indoors. It's been enjoyed since 1934 for both its clusters of 6 to 8 fluffy blooms per stem and its killer (non musky) fragrance. With a form that like a tiny gardenia, white outer petals frame creamy centers, washed with light lemon. Pretty, with a heavenly scent.

Great outside where winters aren't too cold (zone 6 and warmer), double "Early Cheer" is also our favorite daffodil for winter forcing indoors on pebbles and water. (We'll send easy directions, or see our Forcing page.) It blooms in frothy clusters of 15-20 richly fragrant florets of creamy, old-lace white flecked with gold. 4 W-Y, 14-16", zones 6-9S(11WC)

Also known as Early Cheer, this has a gorgeous globular cluster of 15 - 20 flowers of white with light yellow centers, each is a neat little double flower reminiscent of a rose or gardenia. Very pleasantly fragrant and long-lasting, both on the plant and as a cut flower. A very heavy bloomer. Once established, this can also be naturalized on a permanent basis, where it will flower spectacularly in late February and March. A proven performer, as it is simply a double-flowered mutation of the old Grand Primo, commonly seen in old gardens in California. This can also take summer watering with particular ease, so is suited to use in professionally landscaped situations, where annuals are planted over the bulbs during the summer dormant period. The leaves will emerge again in the late autumn, with flowering in December and January. This is the most popular commercial cut flower varitey I grow. Note also the long flowering season the variety is capable of, depending upon when it first receives irrigation or rainfall to bring it back into growth each year. IN COLDER CLIMATES, THESE LARGE BULBS ARE VERY EASILY FORCED FOR WINTER BLOOM INDOORS! Bulbs are are a mixture of small and medium sizes. Grown and freshly dug by hand here in the good old USA.
