Hoop petticoat daffodils display so much individuality many wouldn't recognize these as narcissus. Wide open "hoop" cup is framed by skinny, spiky petals that look more like rays. This dwarf daffodil is a naturally occurring one, a species type that Nature, not the hybridizers, created. Once established, a single bulb can produce more than 15 flowers!
