Rijnveld's Early Sensation - (1 Y-Y) although this two-toned yellow daffodil wouldn't win a ribbon on the show bench, it has won a place in our hearts; it often blooms here in January when the rest of the world is brown...before most others are even poking out of the ground; doesn't seem to mind a blanket of snow; it brings us such joy! easy forcer. 12"-14"; very early. 14 cm bulbs
Daffodils are the most cost effective, pest-free perennial plants available and make wonderful companions with other bulbs, perennials, annuals and flowering shrubs. They grow in almost all areas of the United States as long as there is a discernible winter. They are pest-free and when given ample sunlight, water and proper nutrition, will provide early spring color for many years. They are divided into 13 divisions according to their flower shape and heritage. Daffodils should be planted in full sun or at least _ day (6 hours) of sunlight after the leaves are on the trees and should be planted 3 _ the height of their bulb deep (3"-8"). The ADS defines DIVISION 1 - TRUMPET as: "One flower to a stem; the cup or corona is as long or longer than the perianth segments (petals and sepals)." Trumpets usually produce the larger bulbs than other divisions; often perform better in zones 3-7 than in the deep south; most have gray/green foliage 1/2" to 1" wide and supply great focal impact in flower beds. 4-5 bulbs per square foot; zones 3-8; 16+cm bulbs unless otherwise noted.
