    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    One of the cheeriest of the southern Mediterraneans as far as Narcissi go, this flowering in February and March in our climate, well after many of it's relatives. Chive like spring-green leaves emerge in late autumn to earliest winter with butter yellow trumpets for good contrast. Increases quickly, prefers some summer dry but not necessary. Go for it! USDA zone 6.
