Wild (Feral) Daffodil Naturalizing Mix - A New Park Exclusive Introduced by early settlers.

Although Mrs. Calentine's house collapsed years ago. the Daffodils have spread to cover almost an acre. their golden blossoms and sweet scent welcoming each spring. We'ye used a small harvesting of these bulbs (since replaced!) to propagate from so today's gardeners can continue this rich tradition. The mixture includes several different early flowering varieties including N. pseudonarcissus and N. telamonius pldnus. Order your own planting of these old varieties today — the\ k‘ill enrich future generations as well as bring enjoyment to the present.
