Narcissus 'Katie Heath'

Katie Heath Daffodil

Narcissus 'Katie Heath' bears softly nodding flowers with creamy white outer petals surrounding a small, flared cup brushed in warm peach tones at the rim and throat. The gentle color shift gives each bloom a delicate, watercolor effect in early spring light. Slim, blue-green foliage rises in graceful clumps, creating an airy framework that supports the lightly arching stems and adds a refined presence.

This triandrus daffodil blooms in mid-spring with pendant, bell-like flowers well suited for borders, containers, cutting gardens, and naturalized drifts.

Design tip

Spring bloom is its headline moment, and it reads best in a group rather than as a single plant. Drift them in uneven groups for a natural look, and interplant with perennials that fill the gap after the leaves die back.
