nar-SIS-us
Genus:
Narcissus
Brightly colored, large-cupped, and reliable,
Narcissus 'Serola' has vivid orange and yellow flowers that make it the perfect choice for roadside plantings, for gardens viewed from a distance, and for hot-colored garden schemes. It shows up even better with contrasting colors like the bright, beet-red
Hyacinthus orientalis ‘Woodstock’, or as a color echo with
Tulipa ‘American Dream’.

Separate bulbs and replant in early summer or early fall.
Problems:
Large narcissus bulb fly, bulb scale mite, narcissus nematode, slugs, narcissus basal rot, narcissus yellow stripe virus.
