ADMIRATION, 1912        Web-Only & Rarest
With an amber-orange cup ringed by golden-white petals like “the soft taffeta silk which in the old days was known as sarsenet” (Wayside Gardens, 1936), this elegant poetaz is now one of the oldest of that hardy, cluster-flowered clan. And its fragrance is delicious! 8 Y-O 14-16 inches, zones 6-8aS/10WC, from Holland. Chart to compare.

ALBUS PLENUS ODORATUS, 1601
Snowy white, richly fragrant, and hardy to zone 3, double pheasant’s-eyes appear on almost every daffodil list from Clusius’s in 1601 to catalogs of the early 1900s. Though they can be erratic bloomers, in long, cool springs and well-watered soils they’re heavenly. N. poeticus ‘Plenus’, 4 W-W, 16-18 inches, zones 3-6bS/8WC, from Holland. Chart to compare.

APRIL QUEEN, 1938        Rarest
Medieval troubadours sang of a frolicking April Queen who called all to join her in a merry dance of spring. This brilliant beauty with its ruffled, flame-kissed cup dances and dances in the garden, lasting longer in bloom than any other we’ve ever grown. To the dance! 2 W-YYO, 16-18 inches, zones 5-8aS/10WC, from Holland. Chart to compare.

ARGENT, 1902        Rarest & New
“The very best of all double daffodils”? Yes, according to the great E.A. Bowles who, in 1914, raved about its “particularly graceful outline” and the “charming mingling of its silver and gold.” With long white petals thrusting out of a flurry of short, bright, yellow ones, ‘Argent’ is bursting with spring’s exuberance. From a cross of ‘Ornatus’ and super-vigorous ‘Van Sion’. 4 W-Y, 14-16”, zones 4-7S/9WC, from Holland. Chart to compare.

AVALANCHE, 1906
If daffodils were athletes, ‘Avalanche’ would wear Olympic gold. Extra vigorous, with 15-20 fragrant blossoms per stem, it’s so tough it was discovered in 1906 clinging to a sea-cliff in the Scilly Isles where tazettas had been grown by the millions in the 19th century. Superb in zones 6b-9S/11WC or forced indoors on pebbles and water. 8 W-Y, 16-18 inches, fat California bulbs. Chart to compare.
