The quintessential heralds of spring, jaunty daffodils are as diverse and fascinating as they are adored.
In Daffodils: Beautiful Varieties for Home and Garden, leading garden writer Naomi Slade explores the intriguing history of the genus Narcissus along with its growing and care. Renowned floral photographer Georgianna Lane reveals the breadth of daffodil varieties in a range of breathtaking solid colors and multitoned and ruffled combinations of salmon, pink, peach, orange, and white. Daffodils are easy to grow as garden plants or container specimens, and their bulbs multiply year after year. Indoors they add brightness and cheer as cut flowers in home arrangements, wedding bouquets, and even large-scale event decor. Plant bulbs fall through January if the soil is workable, for the most joyful spring blooms ever! Daffodils are a popular choice for bouquets, corsages, bridal bouquets, centerpieces, and forced-bloom gifts. Gracing springtime flower beds and grassy meadows alike, these cheerful trumpet flowers are plants of poetic inspiration and mythic renown, rich with perfume and infused with optimism.Author Biography
