Narcissus/Daffodil - Miniature
MINIATURE DAFFODILS
Not a separate division; those cultivars
whose flowers are about 1” in diameter and are
about 6” tall; most but not all are approved by
the American Daffodil Society as being appropriate
for the miniature list; we mention those
that have been deleted from the miniature list.
Whz 4-9 unless noted. (Note: climate, soil and site
conditions will sometimes encourage some miniatures
to grow above or
below the normal 6”).
Baby Boomer - division
7, jonquilla; our
very own seedling
(N. ‘Avalanche’ x N.
jonquilla) with 5-10
flowers per stem and
lots of fragrance to
sweeten up your garden,
home or pots;
great grower; 4”-8”; N. ‘Baby Boomer
mid-late spring. #01-1442 10/$10.90
50/$45.50 100/$83 500/$360 1000/$630
Although N.‘Baby Boomer’ is a miniature daffodil, it can
hold its own with standard cultivars like another one of our
seedlings, N.’Golden Echo’ and their colors work well
together. It’s a shame we don’t have ‘scratch and sniff’’
because both of these flowers have a fabulous fragrance
and are tough garden perennials.
Baby Moon – division
7, jonquilla; a golden
yellow, multiflowering
clone of species N. jonquilla,
with grasslike
foliage and nickel to
quarter sized, sweetly
scented flowers; variable
in height; late
spring; 1959; 4”–8”;
(9+cm). #01-1401
