Daffodil (Narcissus 'Quail')
narcissus
Genus:
Narcissus
Jonquilla-type daffodils produce dark-green, narrow, often reedlike leaves, which are relatively easy to hide in the border while they mature, and there is usually more than one sweetly fragrant flower per stem. Golden-yellow, sweetly fragrant, and a wonderful perennial, ‘Quail’ creates a special color echo with the golden center of the small tulip
Tulipa bakeri ‘Lilac Wonder’.
Propagation:
Separate bulbs and replant in early summer or early fall.
Problems:
Narcissus bulb fly, narcissus nematode, bulb scale mite, slugs, narcissus basal rot, other fungal infections, narcissus yellow stripe virus, and other viruses.
