It bears 3-5 fully double, gardenia-like flowers per stem, creamy white with flecks of orange-yellow in the center. The fragrance is strong and sweet. It blooms in mid to late spring, later than most trumpets. The stems are strong, 16-18 inches.

Named for a Statesman

Named in honor of the British Prime Minister, this cultivar combines historical resonance with garden merit. Plant bulbs in autumn in well-drained soil, sun or part shade. It is a reliable perennial. The fragrance and multiple flowers per stem make it excellent for cutting. A distinguished late-season double daffodil.
