Narcissus
Narcissus is a genus of spring-flowering perennials characterized by their trumpet or cup-shaped centers, the most famous member being the daffodil. We offer a unique selection of Narcissus bulbs imported from Holland. We chose these varieties for their long, strong stems, interesting textures, and trending color palettes. Ideal for cut flowers, they also naturalize to beautify the landscape and garden. Order early! Narcissus bulbs ship September through November for fall planting.
