Fragrant and elegant, Pueblo is a Grant Mitsch jonquilla hybrid that carries up to three starry, 3-inch flowers per stem. Milky-white petals surround a lemon-yellow cup that matures to bright white with a narrow golden halo at its base. It’s one of the last jonquillas to bloom, extending the daffodil season. 12-14″ stems.
Blooms: Up to three star-shaped 3" flowers per stem, opening milky white with a lemon cup and maturing to bright white. It is a late bloomer (May in zone 5) on 12-14" stems and is hardy in zones 5-9, so it does well in warm Southern gardens.
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: Like other jonquillas, Pueblo has a sweet fragrance that you will notice in the garden and in a vase. The scent also attracts bees and butterflies.
Animals: Like other daffodil bulbs, critters, including deer and gophers, leave this bulb alone. Bees, butterflies, and other pollinators are drawn to the sweet-smelling blooms.
