Split-Corona Daffodil
A Modern Twist on the Traditional Daffodil
Elegant, unusual and beautifully refined, Narcissus 'Janneke' proves that modern daffodil breeding continues to produce remarkable new forms. Its broad white petals surround a deeply divided, frilled corona in soft apricot and salmon-pink, giving every flower an appearance more reminiscent of an exotic orchid than a traditional daffodil.
The beautifully open blooms create a lighter, more graceful display than trumpet varieties, making this an excellent choice for gardeners seeking something a little different. Flowering in April, the flowers are carried on sturdy stems that perform exceptionally well in borders and containers while also making superb cut flowers.
The subtle colouring allows 'Janneke' to blend effortlessly with pastel tulips and other spring bulbs, creating harmonious combinations that look natural and sophisticated.
