Product Description

Narcissus x medioluteus

March offers many opportunities for garden color, but as April approaches, daffodil blooms become scarce. One April blooming narcissus, N. x medioluteus or 'Twin Sisters' affords the opportunity of a late bloom and with varying colors other than the traditional yellow. Each bulb of this rapid multiplier sends up a flower stalk bearing two to three blooms of white petals and a yellow cup, offering a sweet fragrance.
Narcissus x medioluteus also goes by the name "April Beauty," and was grown by Thomas Jefferson in Monticello. It is a hybrid of Narcissus poeticus, sometimes called 'Pheasant's Eye.' This descriptive term is used to describe the alluring and almost addictive color of the inner cup.
