Large-cupped daffodils have flowers with the large central trumpet replaced by a large, open, flattened or wavy cup. Narcissus 'Ice Follies' is a popular daffodil with a soft yellow flattened cup set against a clear white perianth of outer petals. Although sometimes forced in January for early cutting, and also grown as pot plant for display, it's a fine variety for massing in borders, parts of the lawn or under trees.
Grow Narcissus 'Ice Follies' in moist but well-drained soil in full sun. Allow foliage to die down completely after flowering and mulch annually with well-rotted manure or compost. The Royal Horticultural Society has given it its prestigious Award of Garden Merit (AGM).
