Double Daffodil 'Yellow Cheerfulness' (Narcissus)

Double Daffodil 'Yellow Cheerfulness': Sunny Late-Spring Bouquets

Narcissus 'Yellow Cheerfulness' is a sport of the white 'Cheerfulness', introduced in 1937 by Eggink. It shares the same delightful traits: multiple (3-6) fully double, fragrant flowers per stem, but in a clear, soft primrose yellow. The gardenia-like scent is sweet and pervasive. It blooms in mid to late spring, extending the daffodil season with cheerful color.

Reliable and Fragrant

Plant bulbs in autumn in well-drained soil, sun or part shade. It is a strong perennializer and increases well. The fragrance makes it superb for cutting. Combine with blue Muscari or white 'Thalia' for a lovely contrast. A carefree, long-lived heirloom for the late spring garden.
