Narcissus 'Sadie Louise'

Illuminated by the light of dawn or in the glow of evening, the particular glory of Narcissus 'Sadie Louise' can be best appreciated. Named for a granddaughter of White Flower Farm’s owner, this Large-cupped treasure has gently pleated, snowy white petals surrounding a frilly cone that, on close inspection, can exhibit gradations of color, shifting from cantaloupe to ivory to gold. Plant her where the slanting sun will work its magic. Midseason.

Large-cupped Daffodils are the workhorses of the Daffodil world. They're good for bedding, picking, naturalizing, forcing, and showing. This class includes the full color range: white, every shade of yellow, orange, and pink. They have one flower to a stem and a cup, which is not as long as their perianth segments but still greater than one-third the length of the segments. Large-cupped Daffodils always look fresh and festive.

​Narcissus blooms are for many gardeners the first visible signs of spring. These vigorous, long-lived bulbs thrive joyously in sunny, well-drained places, are shunned by hungry deer and voles, and will thrive and multiply with little care on your part, creating a glorious landscape and a horticultural legacy.
