Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Carlton is the second most popular narcissus grown in America (Dutch Master is the first). This daffodil performs well across most of the country, which is no small feat given the size and diversity of U.S. regions. Carlton sports classic proportions, with full, overlapping yellow petals and slightly deeper toned yellow cups. Early, long lasting, dependable and of, course, a bright yellow beacon of spring.
