Narcissus x medioluteus
March offers many opportunities for garden color, but as April approaches, daffodil blooms become scarce. One April blooming narcissus, N. medioluteus or 'Twin Sisters' affords the opportunity of a late bloom and with varying colors than the traditional yellow. Each bulb of this rapid multiplier sends up a flower stalk bearing two blooms of white petals and a yellow cup, offering a sweet fragrance. In the past, some faulted the plant for producing too much foliage and not enough blooms, but deeper plantings or plantings in thicker clay soils should encourage the plant to bloom more and produce less foliage. Grown by Thomas Jefferson in Monticello. Also, the Southern Bulb Company's stock is from an authentic historic source. As a good "rule of thumb" for most bulbs, plant at a depth about three times the height of the bulb.
