Description
Set for SuccessNew Surprises Every Spring
The whole process is an exciting one. You plant them in fall, and even through the gloomiest winter days, you have the promise of bulbs just waiting to fill your garden with magnificent blooms. It's a joyful moment when you first spot your daffodils--maybe that's why in Wales they say the first to spot one will enjoy a year of excellent wealth. However, planting and growing this daffodil collection is really just the beginning. The flowers may look delicate, but daffodil bulbs are hardy and prolific. You'll get to watch them grow and naturalize year after year--multiplying over time to surprise you with a spring display that just keeps getting better
Sharing is Caring
One way to enjoy your butterfly daffodils is by sharing some of that wealth. The daffodil has become a symbol of friendship, often given in spring to celebrate new life. As a brightly coloured beauty and a well-known harbinger of spring, it's easy to see this little bloom's merit as a friendly gesture. Breck's Butterfly Daffodil Collection is especially moving in a fresh-cut, homegrown bouquet--the wide-open blooms with decadent split and ruffled coronas carry enough ceremony to create a lasting impression. For all the new excitement each new spring brings, you'll have an outstanding bouquet ready to celebrate it.
Breck's® Butterfly DaffodilsYou can call them butterfly, orchid or hibiscus daffodils, or use the official classification--split-corona daffodils. Their indescribable beauty is clear in just how many different names people have come up with for these unique blooms. Render your friends and neighbours speechless this spring with your own collection of Breck's Butterfly Daffodils.
You've Got Options
There are plenty of ways to use butterfly daffodils. They grow sweetly in little pots you can keep on your patio. You can add eye-catching colour and elegance to your mixed borders. They are a cinch to naturalize and will greet you every spring with a heart-melting scene when you plant them in drifts along a hillside. Wherever you choose, these beauties are very easy to grow. Although they thrive best in well-drained soil, they don't mind clay, loamy or sandy soil. Also, as with all daffodils, deer won't eat these varieties.
Congress
Introduced in 1965, this one has been a favourite of split-corona daffodil growers ever since. It boasts vibrant colouration, a carefree habit and large, 4" blooms with vivid orange cups that lay flat against golden-yellow petals. Use Congress to create artful bouquets with only a few stems. An exhilarating variety that is ideal for brightening borders or naturalized sites
Delta
This one is an absolute must-have for butterfly daffodil fans! Its colourful, stately blooms open in mid spring on 20" stems. The flamboyant, 4¼" flowers feature frilly, split coronas and startling hues of white, orange-yellow and yellow. Gorgeous in a border, foundation planting or cut-flower arrangement. Deer resistant and an excellent naturalizer
Pink Wonder
Pink Wonder stands out among the recently introduced pink daffodils with its extremely full, ruffled cup offset by white petals and a small, yellow centre. The buds for this variety open in a more peachy shade and soften to warm pink as they mature. Several of the split-corona petals are nestled between two layers of white flower petals, giving the blooms a fantastic, multitiered look.
Moonlight Serenade
Luminous blooms draw immediate attention with their mysterious beauty. A ruffled, lemon-yellow split corona has contrasting white petals that transform into a delicious, buttery yellow at maturity. Split-crown ruffles remain lemon coloured throughout the life of the flower.
Sunny Girl
Breck's 2006 Daffodil of the Year. Exotic colour combination! A ruffled, pink-orange to nearly red, split corona surrounds a pink-white centre. The wide-spreading split cup nearly envelops the full, white petals. Breathtaking in beds and borders. Enjoy them in a cutting garden for exquisite bouquets.
