Beautiful flowers, early spring blooming plant.

From Sunset Beach, North Carolina

I planted this " Summer Daffodils " a few years ago. This plant multiplies fast and the flowers are fragrant and beautiful. I wouldn't call it "Summer Daffodils " because mine starts blooming in late Feb and still blooming now March 19. They always make me excited as first sign spring of spring season. My favorite 😍

Easy to grow beautiful unique flower. That being said it smells like death. I thought something died they realized it's the plant. Will order more but won't plant near windows.

they did fine

Submitted 3 years ago

By Neyronrose

From southeastern Pennsylvania

Planted in the Spring of 2021: Apparently this is a tazetta sort of narcissus, and doesn't need winter chilling? All that I got sprouted and bloomed nicely. They were the same as the 'Erlicheer' narcissus that I'd gotten a few years ago from another company. The ones I already had do come up early in the Spring. They were on the east side of a hill, and the leaves got very frost-burned there. I moved bulbs around. Some of the ones I got this Spring, I planted near the west side of the house, where they will get more shelter and warmth when they sprout early next year. Also, the ground is flatter and I was able to put mulch on top of where they're planted. Something is sprouting now where I planted the other ones I got this spring on that east side of a hill. I don't blame them for being confused. I'll probably just dig it up, put it in a pot, and bring it into the house, where it will likely bloom in a few weeks. The scent is rather reminiscent of paperwhite narcissus, which are also tazettas, but I didn't think the 'Erlicheer' daffodils were as strongly scented as the paperwhite narcissus we've grown. That's fine. This is a kind of daffodil that tries hard, even in conditions that are rather challenging for it. When I dug up the ones I'd planted a few years ago, I found many bulbs in each place that I had planted one, so they multiply readily, too. They're not as hardy as some other kinds of daffodils, but they work well for different purposes than those do.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Very fragrant

By Happiest when I'm hiking

From Duluth, MN

I live in N Minnesota right next to Lake Superior. These did great in full sun and were extremely fragrant. The blossoms were smaller than I expected, but the aroma made up for it! It was like having fabric softener sloshed in my garden. I loved it! All bulbs came up. All blossomed.
