Narcissus ‘Actaea’
Description
This butterfly-shaped beauty flutters in the breeze, emitting a scent that is off the charts. Flowers have a petite, yellow center ringed in scarlet and surrounded with clean, white, slightly reflexed petals. ‘Actaea’ evokes a tropical feeling. Long, strong stems make this large heirloom beauty an excellent cut flower—a must-grow!
Please note: When cut, daffodils and narcissus emit a toxic sap that can cause skin irritation. Use caution and wear gloves when harvesting.
