The Narcissus 'Yellow Cheerfulness' is a large bulb (14+ cm) that produces a lovely double yellow bloom! The multiple layers of soft-yellow petals are only broken up by a hint of orange peeking out of the very center. This daffodil is one of the last daffodils to bloom showing its amazing beauty in May with multiple blooms on each steam. The Narcissus 'White Lion' makes a great companion to the 'Yellow Cheerfulness' as they are both May bloomers.

Plant: 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.
