Daffodil (Narcissus x 'Golden Bells') - Description
Bred from the popular Narcissus bulbocodium, Golden Bells has larger flowers and many advantages over its temperamental parent. Golden Bells produces 5 to 15 flowers from just one bulb, each rich, golden yellow flower atop a strong stem. They are easy to grow wherever daffodils are grown, and they tolerate spring temperatures as high as 90 degrees which defeat many spring bloomers. Plant in clusters of 6 or more, or in large drifts for strong visual impact. Delightful as an edging or in a rock garden; excellent for pots and window boxes.
