Nursery contributed plant descriptions

There are only a few all white daffodils that really make the grade - Mount Hood is the most widely grown one. Perfect for mixing with any other early spring bloomers (hyacinths, glory of the snow, blue or striped squill) and stunning planted in front of early spring azaleas.
