Hoop Petticoat Daffodil (Narcissus bulbocodium 'Golden Bells') - Description
What a wonderful improvement on this gorgeous old species daffodil! Every single bulb of Golden Bells will make a whole bouquet all by itself, producing from 5 to 15 flowers, instead of just one or two.

For the most dramatic effect, plant in groups of at least 6 bulbs.
