American Meadows Thalia Daffodil
Best low-maintenance choice for gardeners seeking fragrant, deer-resistant spring blooms.
These nodding, fragrant blooms bring a wild, effortless elegance to your garden that feels more like a meadow than a manicured bed. They are remarkably low-maintenance and pest-resistant, though you must be patient enough to let the foliage die back naturally if you want them to return every spring.
