Narcissus ‘Art Design’
Description
Of all the narcissus we have seen and grown, few compare to the beauty and elegance of ‘Art Design’. Like dancing ladies in billowing skirts, this is the most ruffled, full variety we’ve encountered. Hundreds of crinkled petals in shades of egg yolk and buttercream fill the center of the flower, with the color becoming richer in the outer parts of the tube. The buttercream-yellow outer petals alternate from light to dark, reflexing back. For such full flowers, they hold up well and are very weatherproof. Blooms are sweetly scented, smelling of spring and flowering fruit trees. If we could grow only one daffodil, hands down, this surely would be it.
Please note: When cut, daffodils and narcissus emit a toxic sap that can cause skin irritation. Use caution and wear gloves when harvesting.
