If you want a daffodil that will make your friends lean in for a closer look, try the Daffodil 'Gringo.' It has a unique look that makes the flower appear shinier and smoother (almost like a plastic flower) than other daffodils, because it lacks the waxy coating found on most daffodil flowers and leaves.
Blooms: 'Gringo' carries glossy, bright yellow blooms on stems roughly 12-24" tall, and it is known for a nice long bloom period in spring. The smooth, polished look of both the flowers and the foliage sets it apart in a bed of ordinary daffodils, and the blooms make a fun conversation piece in a vase.
Planting: Plant the bulb like most daffodils in 6+ hours of winter sun, well-drained soil, avoid standing water, and avoid too much competition. Plant the bulbs about 2-3 times the height of the bulb deep (so if the bulb is 1 inch tall, 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.
