American Meadows Cheerfulness Daffodil
Best low-maintenance bulb for gardeners seeking fragrant, reliable spring color.
These ruffled, multi-bloom narcissi bring a sophisticated, fragrant fullness to the garden that standard daffodils lack. They require almost zero maintenance and naturalize beautifully, though you sacrifice the stark, architectural simplicity of single-petaled varieties for this lush, layered look.
