Daffodil 'Avalanche' - 5 bulbs
The Narcissus ‘Avalanche’ bloom announces that spring has come just in case someone missed it. This large bulb blooms in April. This bulb has been around a long time and used to be called "Seventeen Sisters" by many (because it has between 15-20 blooms per stem!). This bloom graced many early American gardens. This bloom has been around since about 1955!
Blooms: The Narcissus 'Avalanche' will adorn your April garden with its fun blooms. The buttery yellow centers are surrounded by pure white petals. Each stem contains multiple 1-2" blooms. The grouping of blooms makes you feel as if the sun has opened up to greet you. The blooms have a lovely fresh fragrance. These look great in a vase of flowers on your table. Each bloom is only about 1" across, but they are lovely with white petals and a yellow cup center. You can create an entire bouquet from just a couple of stems because each stem can contain up to 20 blooms!
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.
