Narcissus 'Actaea' | Poet's Daffodil

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Narcissus ‘Actaea’ bears crisp white flowers with a small, flattened cup edged in soft red, creating a refined look in spring gardens. Slender, blue-green foliage forms neat clumps that stay attractive through the bloom season, supporting graceful stems that hold each blossom upright. The overall effect is clean and classic, making this long-lived variety a dependable presence in seasonal displays.

This poeticus-type daffodil blooms in mid to late spring with single, open-faced flowers well suited for borders, cutting gardens, naturalized meadows, and woodland edges. Developed in Europe during the nineteenth century, it remains a favorite for mass plantings where performance brings continuity to spring displays.
