Narcissus 'Tête Bouclé'
Best low-maintenance choice for gardeners seeking reliable, pest-resistant spring color.
Narcissus 'Tête Bouclé' is a charming, double-flowered daffodil that blooms in early to mid-spring, offering a delightful display. Its yellow petals are uniquely accented with tufts of bright orange petaloid segments, supported by strong stems reaching 6 to 8 inches tall.

These vigorous, long-lived bulbs thrive in sunny, well-drained locations and are naturally resistant to deer and voles. They multiply readily, creating a glorious landscape legacy with minimal effort required from the gardener.
