Jonquilla Daffodil 'Sun Disc' (Narcissus)

Jonquilla Daffodil 'Sun Disc': A Miniature Fragrant Gem

Narcissus 'Sun Disc' (also 'Sundisc') is a charming Jonquilla daffodil (Division 7) introduced before 1946 by Gray. It produces 2-3 small, perfectly rounded, golden-yellow flowers per stem, each with a very shallow, almost flat cup (disc-shaped), giving the cultivar its name. The flowers are sweetly fragrant. The foliage is narrow, rush-like, and dark green.

Rock Garden and Border Front

Plant bulbs in autumn in well-drained soil, full sun. It is a reliable perennial, forming neat clumps. The small stature (8-12 inches) makes it ideal for rock gardens, troughs, and the front of borders. The fragrance is delightful up close. Jonquillas are among the most heat-tolerant daffodils, performing well in southern gardens.
