Narcissus 'Dick Wilden' offers you tradition with a twist – lots of twists, in fact. This yellow double daffodil produces is a far showier than the usual herald of spring: Its orange-yellow pompon of twisting cup segments are delivered on a double-layered server of bright greenish yellow petals. From early to mid-spring these out-facing flowers provide a cheerful parade of colour as they march across the garden bed – and right into a floral arrangement if you feel like taking their bright cheeriness inside. Just be sure to let the blooms open fully before cutting them.

Narcissus 'Dick Wilden' will also make a spectacular focal point if planted in containers on your deck or patio.
