Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Narcissus 'Irene Copeland' is an heirloom daffodil introduced in 1915. It is incredibly double cultivar with masses of yellow and white petals in congested heads. Stems can reach 14 inches high. Daffodils are disease and pest resistant and, planted in full to part sun, will come back year after year with ever expanding clumps.
This is the neatest double daffodil we've ever seen. With creamy white petals arranged just so and trimmed with bits of pale primrose, perfect on an Edwardian lady's Easter bonnet. For the surprising story of the real Irene and her sister Mary, shared with us by Irene's daughter. 4 W-Y, 16-18", zones 4-7bS(9WC)
