Winter Daffodil, Fall Daffodil, Lily of the Field, Yellow Amaryllis, Yellow Starflower
A fall-flowering heirloom bulb, award-winning Sternbergia lutea (Winter Daffodil) is a clump-forming bulbous perennial boasting solitary goblet-shaped waxy golden flowers, 1.5 in. across (4 cm), in early fall. Resembling giant crocuses, they are borne atop 6 in. stems (15 cm) and are produced at the same time as the glossy, strap-shaped, dark green leaves. The foliage persists through winter in warm winter locations and fades in late spring. Ridiculously easy to grow, Sternbergia lutea provides a charming autumn surprise in borders, rock gardens, and along paths.
