Nursery contributed plant descriptions

True stock! You may think you've grown this icon, but since the 1950s, most bulbs sold in the US as 'King Alfred' have been newer, over-sized impostors that were easier to mass-produce in the mild, moist Dutch climate. We waited years to get the real 'King' from Holland's greatest daffodil collector, and now trumpets, please here it is, gold, bold, and everything a world famous icon should be. 1Y-Y, 21-23", zones 4-7bS(9WC)
