Heirloom Double Daffodil 'Rip van Winkle' (Narcissus): Quirky Green-Yellow Blooms

Narcissus 'Rip van Winkle' (also 'Plenus') is a historic double daffodil dating pre-1884. This Amaryllidaceae family member produces unique, multi-petaled, greenish-yellow flowers that resemble a chrysanthemum more than a traditional daffodil.

Growing 8 to 10 inches tall, it blooms in early to mid-spring. The quirky, green-tinged blooms are long-lasting and make excellent cut flowers. A conversation piece in heirloom gardens. Hybridizer unknown. Synonym: Narcissus minor var. pumilus.
