Narcissus ‘Mount Hood’ (Trumpet Daffodil)

A standard for white daffodils, multiple award-winner Narcissus ‘Mount Hood’ boasts slightly fragrant, large flowers, 4 in. across (10 cm), emerging creamy-white with pale yellow trumpets, which fade to a lovely pale cream before turning as white as snow. Blooming in mid-spring, one flower per stem, this Trumpet Daffodil enjoys a very long blooming season. Great-looking in the garden or a vase, it is also an excellent naturalizer. This classic white Trumpet Daffodil has been extremely popular since its introduction pre-1938.
