$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Narcissus ‘Scarlet O’Hara’ produces large golden-yellow outer petals surrounding a deep orange-red cup that remains rich in color as blooms mature. Narrow, blue-green, straplike foliage rises in upright clumps, providing an orderly backdrop as flowers open in early spring. The plant forms a well-balanced presence in beds and borders, with each sturdy stem carrying a single, color-rich flower through its season.

This large-cupped daffodil blooms in early to mid-spring with classic, open-faced flowers well suited for borders, cutting gardens, containers, and naturalized drifts. Introduced in the mid-twentieth century, it remains widely used where bold cup color and dependable flowering enhance seasonal garden design.
