Narcissus 'Jetfire' | Jetfire Daffodil

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Narcissus ‘Jetfire’ displays bright yellow petals swept sharply back from a bold, flared trumpet in vivid orange-red, creating a contrast that stands out in early spring. Slim, blue-green foliage emerges in neat, upright clumps, giving the plant a tidy appearance as the blooms open. The overall habit is compact and alert, with each stem carrying a single flower that brings brightness to the earliest garden scenes.

This cyclamineus daffodil blooms in late winter to early spring with swept-back flowers well suited for borders, rock gardens, containers, and naturalized plantings. Introduced in the mid-twentieth century, it remains popular for mass displays where early color brings welcome seasonal cheer.
