Sailboat Daffodil
Welcome mid-to-late spring with the award-winning Sailboat Daffodil. These charming bulbs produce sweet yellow blossoms that gracefully mature to a luminous warm white, featuring petals swept back like boat sails. Each stem yields 2-3 fragrant flowers, and the variety naturalizes readily, multiplying year after year with minimal effort. They are excellent for containers and as cut flowers. Plant these bulbs in the fall; they thrive in well-drained soil and offer reliable color resistant to deer, rabbits, and squirrels.
