Narcissus 'Petit Four'

Petit Four Daffodil

Narcissus 'Petit Four' presents soft ivory outer petals layered around a center of pale apricot and blush pink tones that deepen toward the heart of each bloom. Smooth, blue-green foliage rises in tidy clumps, providing a clean, refined backdrop through the flowering period. The plant develops a full, graceful presence as the rounded flowers open, filling spring beds with gentle color.

This double daffodil blooms in mid to late spring with richly layered blossoms well suited for borders, containers, cutting gardens, and naturalized plantings.

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.
