Daffodil 'Actaea', poeticus Daffodil 'Actaea', Spring Bulbs, Spring Flowers
Fragrant, multiple award-winner Narcissus ‘Actaea’ (Poet’s Daffodil) displays elegant, pure white flowers, up to 3 in. wide (8 cm), adorned with six wide petals and tiny, red-rimmed, golden-yellow cups. Blooming in mid to late spring, one flower per stem, the blossoms rise atop a clump of narrow, strap-shaped leaves. Great in the sunny border, this daffodil performs better in wet, poorly drained areas than most daffodils. Because of its sweet scent, it makes excellent cut flowers.
