Thalia

Thalia has nodding white flowers, usually 2 to 3 per stem, with narrow petals and a delicate cup. It grows well in the South and is excellent for massing in woodlands or shrub borders.

Pipit produces 2 to 3 sweetly scented yellow flowers on each stem. The center cups emerge yellow and fade to white, giving the flowers a striking two-toned appearance. Flowers are dainty, 3-inches across on strong stems. Pipit is one of the longest blooming daffodils, staying in bloom 3 to 5 weeks.  They also hold up well in a vase.  In 2001 it won the prestigious “Award of Garden Merit” from the Royal Horticultural Society.

Introduced in 1938, it is one of the world’s most popular and most widely grown daffodils, bearing large yellow flowers up to 4 inches across on strong 18-inch stems.  Dutch Master is a reliable selection for the South, naturalizing and returning year after year. It is the recipient of numerous awards, including the prestigious “Award of Garden Merit” from the Royal Horticultural Society.

Kedron

Kedron is a colorful and fragrant addition to the landscape. The sweetly-scented flowers, produced in clusters of 2 to 3 per stem, have bronze-yellow petals surrounding vibrant orange cups. It was introduced in 1974 by American plant breeder Willis Wheeler who found it to be ideal for warm climates.

Bloom Time:  Early – Mid.

Barrett Browning LS

The petals of Barrett Browning stay white, but the bright orange cups turn yellow in their centers as the flowers mature. There are no other early-flowering daffodils with this striking color combination. The “LS” after the name means the “landscape size” bulbs are slightly smaller and less expensive than the regular size daffodils, making them more affordable for naturalizing in large woodland settings.  

Bloom Time: Early

Specialty Bulbs


file

Snowdrops (Galanthus elwesii)

Snowdrops are one of the earliest bulbs to flower, blooming in January before most other bulbs begin to emerge. Pendulous white petals with green accents hang down from nodding stems. Plants grow 10- to 12 inches tall and the foliage is silvery green. Plant Snowdrops beneath deciduous trees that drop their leaves in fall and allow sunlight to reach the plants in winter. They are deer resistant, easy to grow and multiply from year to year.

Bloom Time: Early


file

Spanish Bluebells (Hyacinthoides hispanica)

Spanish Bluebells are late-blooming perennial bulbs that produce porcelain-blue bell-shaped flowers. The flowers are lightly fragrant. They prefer partial shade and are great for naturalizing among shade trees.  Unfortunately deer love the foliage so regular applications of a deer repellent may be necessary from the time the plants emerge through the soil.

Bloom Time: Late
