Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Any Top Ten list of history's greatest daffodils would have to include this legendary trumpet. Once the world's best-known and best-loved, it's been "commercially extinct" for decades, preserved by just a handful of collectors and we're thrilled to have enough to offer it. With a deep gold trumpet and a distinctive wiggle to its softer yellow petals, it's a daffodil for the ages. 1 Y-Y, 18-20", zones 5-8aS(10WC)
