A charming little daffodil. I use it for rabbit/vole repelling. It is small enough not to be obtrusive yet two or three of them, well placed, repell rabbits and voles, so I place them around lilies and tulips. They come up before either of those bulbs, have a charm all their own, and are a non-chemical way, at least for me, of repelling diggers. Very easy to grow. Toss in and forget.

Neutral Baa On May 17, 2006, Baa wrote:

An old Daffodil cultivar from before 1869 introduced by W. Backhouse.

Bears dainty (60mm), sulphur yellow flowers that turn to a pale cream with age. Perianth segments are ovate, acute, slightly inflexed with twisted or wavy margins. Corona is slightly ribbed or smooth with a frilled mouth and may remain slightly yellowish.

Likes a well drained soil in sun and is happy in containers too.
