This lovely heirloom Narcissus tazetta really draws the eye with the contrast of white petals and an orange center. It has been around since before 1930, and it is the kind of sweet-smelling, cluster-flowered daffodil that has carried spring color through old Southern gardens for generations.
Blooms: Each stem carries about 3-6 flowers, roughly 2" across, with pure white petals and a short, bright orange cup. The stems stand about 16" tall. It shows up in late March to mid-April to help carry your daffodil color into the next month. The blooms are sweetly fragrant and make wonderful cut flowers.
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. Plant 'Geranium' near a porch, path, or window where you can enjoy its fragrance.
Animals: Like all daffodils, 'Geranium' is not bothered by deer, rabbits, or squirrels.
