Daffodil Paperwhite

Renowned for its intoxicating perfume and glistening, star-like blooms, this classic Paperwhite Daffodil/Narcissus produces dense clusters of up to ten pure, snow-white flowers per stem. Rising above neat, glaucous, strap-like foliage, its delicate appearance brings early-season elegance and rich scent to sunny garden beds and patio displays. Planted in mild, sheltered borders or containers, it flourishes effortlessly to deliver an exquisite late-Winter to early-Spring show. Its pure white florets make it an exceptional choice for gravel gardens, Mediterranean-style plantings, and outdoor container groupings near entrances where its fragrance can be fully enjoyed.
