Van Zyverden Set Of 25 Daffodils Bulbs Classic Improved King Alfred

Product Description

Daffodils (botanically called Narcissus) are long term perennials and make for great companions to not only other bulbs, but also annuals, perennials and all sorts of shrubs. They soften hardscapes, accent most any garden and are an inexpensive solution to adding color to your garden on nearly any budget. They are relatively pest free and deer will not eat them. Daffodil classifications become quite technical, as they are divided into 13 divisions according to their flower shape and heritage by the American Daffodil Society. They do well throughout most of the U.S. as long as there is a discernible winter. Daffodils are ideal for large plantings and naturalizing, making them an exceptional value item and providing years of carefree color.
King Alfred Daffodils are world famous and still highly sought after. They were bred in 1899 and were recognized as the “standard” yellow trumpet daffodil until just after world War II when new yellow daffodils with better form and performance emerged. They are no longer grown in volume but the “legendary” myth lives on. To satisfy requests we are making available a classic improved King Alfred type look alike which is better than the original.
