Narcissus 'Pipit' | Pipit Daffodil

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Narcissus ‘Pipit’ bears soft butter-yellow flowers that gradually fade to creamy white, with rounded petals surrounding a short, fluted cup that keeps a hint of pale gold at the center. Slender, dark green, strap-like foliage forms upright clumps that stay neat through the bloom period. The plant develops a tidy habit, with multiple blossoms opening along each stem.

This jonquilla-form daffodil blooms in mid-spring and is known for its fragrant, multi-flowered stems. Introduced in the twentieth century through formal breeding programs, it is widely used in borders, containers, cutting gardens, and naturalized drifts where gentle color and perfume enrich seasonal plantings.
