narcissus flower seeds Tahiti Narcissus

Tahiti is an award-winning and exceptionally showy variety. It is now a classic, dating to 1956, and one of the most successful double daffodils.  Fully double flowers are creamy yellow with carrot-orange tufts peeking out of the center, creating a striking contrast in the garden and as a cut flower. Sturdy, reliable, and long-lasting.

Care: Amend soil with compost before planting bulbs. Feed with a granular flower bulb fertilizer at planting time or in the spring when the leaves emerge.
