Daffodils flower early in the season, bringing cheer to the garden when little else is in flower. Some cultivars flower as early as January, while others flower in late-March to April. By choosing carefully you can have daffodils flowering continually in your garden for up to four months.
Narcissus ‘Rip van Winkle’ bears unusual, multi-petalled, greenish yellow flowers that look very unlike any other daffodil. Its shorter height makes it ideal for planting at the front of the border or in containers, and it makes a spectacular cut flower.
For best results grow Narcissus ‘Rip van Winkle’ in moist but well-drained soil in full sun. Allow foliage to die down after flowering and mulch annually with well-rotted manure or compost.
