Comments: Daffodil Swoop or Jonquil or Yellow Narcissus is a
lovely perennial bulb that produces long lasting showy blooms.
Interstingly, their faces floow the direction of the sun. Jonquil
thrive well with half a day of sun. They look very attractive when
planted in masses in borders, bedding or rock garden. Plant
Daffodil Swoop in containers to accent the deck or pation. After
flowering, it is important to allow leaves to die down naturally first
before cutting them off. Divide Yellow Narcissus bulbs every 5-6
years to promote better blooms. They go dormant in the
Summer, prefer to stay dry. Butterflies and hummingbirds love
this bulb plant.
