The Narcissus 'Rose of May' perfectly sums exactly what this bloom looks like. With multiple layers of ivory petals each bloom looks like a small rose that is blooming in May. This beautiful flower has been around since before 1950 and has shown itself durable and dependable. The multiple layers make the blooms look almost like a gardenia.

Blooms: The Narcissus 'Rose of May' is a late-blooming daffodil that will adorn your May garden with its blooms. The multiple ivory petals make this daffodil look full, perfect, and hopeful. With multiple 2 - 2 1/2" fragrant blooms atop each stem, you can create your own "bouquet of roses".

Plant: Plant the bulb like most daffodils in 6+ hours of winter sun, well-drained soil, avoid standing water, and avoiding too much competition. Plant the bulbs about 2-3 times the size of the bulb (so if the bulb is 1 inch long, plant it 2-3 inches deep). If you are farther north and get very cold during the winter, you may want to plant it about 4-6 inches deep. Space the holes about 3-6 inches apart, and for a more natural looking display, consider planting 2-3 bulbs in each hole.

Landscaping Tip: Narcissus bloom at different times so as one daffodil is ending its bloom time another is just beginning. We like to say that "there is a bulb that blooms every week of the year in warmer climates."  Your garden can have consistent flowers that you can enjoy inside or outside for months and carry you all the way from February through April. 

Fragrance: This Narcissus has a light, sweet fragrance. This fragrance can add an extra dimension of beauty to the flower and make it more attractive to pollinators like bees and butterflies.
