Nursery contributed plant descriptions

There are very few strong double form daffodils that have risen to the ranks of winners - Tahiti has. This performance has earned it high standings with commercial growers who love "pretty" but demand vigor, and reliable, uniform flowering. Tahiti's fat buds open to display several rows of rounded yellow petals interspersed with puffs of intense coppery orange. Long lasting blooms seal the deal. If you love double daffs, this ADS winner earns its garden space.
