Daffodil Species Rip van Winkle

The Daffodil 'Rip van Winkle', 'Narcissi species', is a fall planted bulb. This tiny Narcissus with its unusual aster like flowers blooms extremely early in the spring at the same time as the Crocus. It is a real eye catcher, despite it's small size, and it is easy to grow and colonize. The blossoms last up to 4 weeks and appear in very early spring. They are great for mass plantings, containers, and borders.Rip van Winkle bulbs, once planted, can remain in the ground for many years. They will multiply and produce the most abundant flowering results in the 2nd and 3rd year. If necessary, very large clumps of bulbs can be lifted as soon as the leaves wither, and then they can be divided and replanted as soon as possible. After flowering, let the leaves yellow before cutting them back. The plants are deer, rabbit, and squirrel resistant.
