USDA Hardiness Planting Zones

To determine if a plant is sufficiently cold hardy, the USDA created numbered zones indicating winter low temperatures; the lower the zone number the colder the winter.

  • If the coldest winter temperature expected in your area is -15°F (zone 5) then any plants rated zones 3-5 will survive the winter temperatures in your area.
  • If you live in very warm winter areas (zones 9-11) plants with zones 3-4 ratings are not recommended. The lack of freezing winter temperatures do not provide a time for winter dormancy (rest).

Plant Information

Inspired by the sophisticated whites and buttery yellows of the finest spring chiffons, our Lemon Chiffon Daffodil Collection has been selected to provide not only sophisticated color, but unusual form and texture to gardens and vases. The Lemon Chiffon Daffodil Collection begins in early spring with split-corona cultivar ‘Cassata,’ but blooms most heavily during mid spring with favorites such as ‘Ice Follies’ and ‘Mount Hood’ In late fall, plant your daffodils in well-drained, organically-rich soil in full sun to partial shade, with at least six hours of sun. Bulbs should be planted 6-8” deep, 2” apart. For best results and a natural-looking unique design, mix up the individual cultivars when planting. Highly deer resistant.

Our Lemon Chiffon Daffodil Collection is roughly 4' x 3' if planted together and contains 40 plants:

'Cassata' Narcissus – 8 bulbs (early/mid spring)
'Cheerfulness' Narcissus – 8 bulbs (mid spring)
Pipit Daffodil – 8 bulbs (mid spring)
'Ice Follies' Narcissus – 8 bulbs (mid spring)
'Mount Hood' Narcissus – 8 bulbs (mid spring)

*Not all plants will be in bloom at the same time, as depicted on the illustration. Plants are subject to change due to availability. If we make substitutions, we feature plants with similar attributes suitable to the garden/collection design.

Planting & Care

What is a "Quality Bulb," and Why Does Bulb Quality Matter?

Flower bulbs come in a wide variety of sizes. It is important to get the largest, best quality bulbs you can find. Larger bulbs help to ensure success, producing larger and stronger plants with more flowers.

Several flower bulbs are part of the onion family, and because of this I like to use Onions as a representation of how important bulb size is. Which of the onions on your shelf go bad first? The smallest ones! Larger onions are more resilient, taking longer to dry out/rot and can withstand swings in temperature better. Flower bulbs are the same. Larger bulbs will withstand disease, draught, large amounts of moisture, and colder temperatures significantly better than the smaller ones.

Tulip Bulb Comparison

Here at American Meadows we are committed to providing you with the highest quality bulbs. This means we do everything we can to source the largest bulbs possible. Below is a comparison of bulbs purchased from three different retail stores:

Each of the glass tubes contains 20 Dutch Master Daffodils. Starting from the left, the first tube is what is sold here at American Meadows, the middle tube was purchased at a local “Home Supply” box store, and the third is another online retailer. The difference is easily noticeable.

The next picture is the same comparison, but with Tulip Bulbs:

Again, our bulbs are quite a bit larger than other retailers.

Other things to be aware of when it comes to bulb quality is making sure they are firm and without signs of external damage or cracking. Do your best to avoid bulbs that are already growing and have shoots or freshly grown roots. This is difficult when purchasing online, but if you are ordering through a reputable company, they should be checking for these things regularly.

Next time you are looking to buy bulbs, think about how much time you put into planning and planting your garden and then anxiously waiting for your flowers to grow and bloom. Don’t be disappointed after all that effort by planting sub-par bulbs. Buy the largest, firmest, disease free bulbs you can afford, and you will have the best possible results.
