New Daffodil Varieties Transform Spring Gardens
Plant breeders have been busy creating stunning new daffodil varieties, perfect for cut flower gardens. These include split corona and double daffodils, which are now available in a wider range than ever before.
Double bloom daffodils, such as 'Delnashaugh' and 'Bridal Crown,' produce full flower heads with masses of petals, creating showstopping spring gardens. Meanwhile, split corona or ruffled daffodils, like 'Apricot Whirl' and 'Drama Queen,' offer a unique, flattened center portion. These are available in various colors and can be found in modern landscapes alongside traditional roadside and farmstead locations.
Daffodils, often an unofficial harbinger of spring, push their leaves through the soil in late winter. Trumpet daffodils, among the most common types, come in various sizes and colors, with large center cups.
With new hybrids and varieties, daffodils are enjoying renewed interest. From double blooms to split coronas, these vibrant flowers are transforming gardens, offering more choices than ever for spring enthusiasts.
