Bright, cheerful, and wonderfully fragrant, Cragford is a classic tazetta-style daffodil that brings warmth to the late-winter garden. Each stem carries multiple pristine white blooms, each accented with a glowing orange cup that pops from a distance. Reliable and early to bloom, Cragford has proven itself since the 1930s, returning year after year in larger clumps. Plant it where you can enjoy its sweet scent—along pathways, near porches, or in cutting gardens. A timeless heirloom feel with lively color that ushers in spring.

 Plant: Plant the bulb like most daffodils in 6+ hours of winter sun, well-drained soil, avoid standing water, and avoiding too much competition. Plant the bulbs about 2-3 times the size of the bulb (so if the bulb is 1 inch long, plant it 2-3 inches deep). If you are farther north and get very cold during the winter, you may want to plant it about 4-6 inches deep. Space the holes about 3-6 inches apart, and for a more natural looking display, consider planting 2-3 bulbs in each hole. 

Landscaping Tip: Narcissus bloom at different times so as one daffodil is ending its bloom time another is just beginning. We like to say that "there is a bulb that blooms every week of the year in warmer climates."  Your garden can have consistent flowers that you can enjoy inside or outside for months and carry you all the way from February through April. 

Animals: Like other daffodil bulbs, critters, including deer and gophers, leave this bulb alone. However, bees, butterflies, and other pollinators are attracted to the blooms and sweet-smelling flowers. There are so many blooms on each stalk that they don't have to fight over each flower.
