This little daffie is adorable! You see them in all the grocery stores' floral departments starting in February, when they put out pots of forced bulbs to make the gardeners restless for spring. When I lived in La Crosse, Wisconsin I took a chance and plopped my spent houseplant's bulbs in the ground to see what would happen. Sure enough, the following spring I had a sweet clump of mini daffodils! I hope that the current tenants of our old town house are enjoying them now! Last spring I planted some near a lilac bush here at our new home in Iowa, and as of today (March 26, 2007) there are lots of teeny tiny three inch tall stems with fat buds showing yellow at the seams. They'll be blooming tomorrow for sure!
Something I really love about these little guys (aside from how CUTE they are) is that the blooms last longer (for me anyway) than larger daffodils. Also, you often get multiple blooms on each stem--bonus! Next time you see a pot of these at Wally World for three bucks, let them liven up your kitchen table, then give them a good home in your garden!

This usually blooms in March for me in zone 5. I love the height of it; we get sporadic spring hail/rain/snow/ice storms, and this one holds up and keeps blooming for nearly 6 weeks for me. I have not noted a scent for this one.

Very easy to grow plant which multiplies easily and repeats like a dream. Long lasting low growing flowers for spring. In zone6, they bloom in late march / early april.

This seems to be one of the few daffodils/jonquils that will tolerate the summer heat of NE Florida (borderline Zone 8b/9a) and our relatively mild winters with only a few days below freezing. I have a few of these jonquils flowering now (March 2005) from bulbs I planted about 2 years ago. I am hoping they will bloom more profusely with time as they become better acclimated to our climate.
A small cultivar suitable for rock and alpine gardens. Has mid to deep green, smooth, lance like leaves. Bears golden yellow, slightly reflexed perianths with dark yellow coronas, 1 to 3 per stem.
Flowers between January and March.
Loves a well-drained soil in sun or light shade. Forms reasonable sized clumps where happy.
