Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Narcissus 'Jetfire' makes a bold statement with bright yellow, slightly reflexed petals and tangerine orange coronas. The Cyclamineus daffodils have smaller, daintier flowers with characteristic reflexed petals and cylindrical coronas. The look is both familiar and intriguing integrating well into the border but also into wilder gardens and always great to show off in pots. Daffodils are disease and pest resistant and, planted in full to part sun, will come back year after year with ever expanding clumps. Deer and rabbit resistant.
