Narcissus ‘Pipit’ (Jonquil Daffodil)

One of the longest blooming daffodils, award-winner Narcissus ‘Pipit’ is a sweetly fragrant Jonquil Daffodil bearing up to 2-3 flowers per stem and multiple stems per bulb. The flowers, 3 in. across (7 cm), open lemon-yellow with their cups gradually fading to ivory-white. Blooming in mid-spring for up to 5 weeks, this is a wonderful all-around daffodil. Perfect for borders and containers or to grow in the grass.

• Jonquilla Narcissi produce small flowers, 3 or more per stem, with short, wide petals held at right angles to cups. The cup of these daffodils is not that large: usually half the length of the petals. Strongly fragrant, their foliage is often rush-like. Latest to bloom, they are excellent for naturalizing and prefer sunny locations, warm soils, and humid conditions. Their heady fragrance has seduced many generations of gardeners.
