Bulbs

Narcissus 'Mystere'

Mystere Daffodil

Narcissus 'Mystere' produces abundant double flowers where soft white outer petals form multiple layers around chiffon-like salmon in the central trumpet, creating a textured, flowing bloom in spring. Narrow, blue-green foliage rises in tidy, upright clumps that frame the blossoms and lend a fresh, sculptural backdrop to garden plantings.

This double daffodil blooms in late spring with richly layered blossoms well suited for borders, containers, cutting gardens, and naturalized plantings where long-lasting blooms add seasonal interest. It is popular for garden displays where fullness and gentle color enhance late-season spring beds.

Design tip

The early flowers arrive when the garden is still waking up, so give it a spot you pass often in spring. Drift them in uneven groups for a natural look, and interplant with perennials that fill the gap after the leaves die back.
