A glorious little miniature with numerous flowers on a stem. Fails to bloom in a shaded location (Even deciduous shade)
Near perfectly-round cups are most intriguing and fragrant. Underused in the garden.

White petals and a cheddar cheese cup; sometimes not a free flowering as others and may need staking, but its fragrance is wonderful. 12-20"

The fragrant tazetta narcissus are not as cold tolerent as most of its cousins. It likes hot sunny conditions and is excellent choice for forcing. The wild form grows 6 -20 inches tall and bears clusters of white flowers with yellow cups.
