A very charming heirloom daffodil, Narcissus ‘Canaliculatus’ produces 4-7 small scented flowers per stem, each adorned with a small yellow cup and slightly reflexed, white petals. Blooming in mid-spring, this miniature daffodil is perfect for border fronts, rock gardens, and containers where its cheerful blossoms will sing out that spring is back. Popular since its introduction in 1915, it is best planted in warmer climates.

  • Rises to 6 inches tall (15 cm) and naturalizes well.
  • Easily grown in average, medium moisture, well-drained soils in full sun or part shade. Keep the soil moist during the growing season, but reduce watering after foliage begins to die back.
  • This Daffodil is a welcomed addition to beds, borders, containers, rock gardens, around shrubs, and under deciduous trees. Provides spectacular drifts of color when planted en masse or mixed with any other flowering bulbs. For best visual impact, plant in groups (at least 6 bulbs).
  • Deer and rabbit resistant!
  • Propagate by removing offsets as the leaves fade in early summer
  • Ingestion may cause severe discomfort. Can also be a skin irritant.
  • Toxic to dogs, toxic to cats, toxic to horses.
  • Tazetta Narcissus group include very short-cupped, sweetly fragrant, mid-sized daffodils bearing multiple flowers, up to 3-20 per sturdy stem. Many are not hardy to the more northern climates but are terrific performers in USDA Zones 5-9. Excellent for forcing (this division includes the world-famous but tender paperwhites), they also naturalize readily in wet-winter, dry-summer climates. Suitable as garden plants or for cutting, most bloom in mid-late spring.
