Pipit is a vigorous daffodil within the Jonquilla family, known for multiple blossoms on each stem and dark green, tube-shaped leaves. Its white cup and yellow and white petals are vibrant and add an accent to any garden. Pipit has a smaller head size but is not a mini daffodil. Its fragrance is delightful and makes a great cut flower for arrangements. Plan to pick blooms in mid spring. (Narcissus jonquilla)

Description

Naturalizing Daffodils. Probably nothing in the gardening world is more foolproof and more rewarding than 'naturalizing' daffodils. Because unlike most other garden flowers, these fantastic plants are super-easy to plant in fall, they don't care about soil, as long as it's well-drained, and they'll bloom beautifully for you with absolutely no work every spring after you plant them. Best of all, daffodils increase over the years, each bulb developing into a blooming clump. All you have to do is pick the spots. The one thing to remember is that you won't be able to mow that area until the tops die down. Everything else takes care of itself. In a new or established wildflower meadow, the wildflower plants grow up around the daffodils hiding the fading foliage, so there's no work to do. And if you're planting wildflower seed, what could be easier that to pop in the bulbs when you have the ground already turned?

Planting & Care

Naturalizing Daffodils: Probably nothing in the gardening world is more foolproof and more rewarding than 'naturalizing' daffodils. Because unlike most other garden flowers, these fantastic plants are super-easy to plant in fall, they don't care about soil, as long as it's well-drained, and they'll bloom beautifully for you with absolutely no work every spring after you plant them. Best of all, daffodils increase over the years, each bulb developing into a blooming clump. All you have to do is pick the spots. The one thing to remember is that you won't be able to mow that area until the tops die down. Everything else takes care of itself. In a new or established wildflower meadow, the wildflower plants grow up around the daffodils hiding the fading foliage, so there's no work to do. And if you're planting wildflower seed, what could be easier that to pop in the bulbs when you have the ground already turned?

About the Wild Daffodils: Like wild tulips which are more the size of crocus, most of the wild daffodils are tiny too. They're generally small wildflowers that have been hybridized by the Dutch into the big tall beauties we know today.

Unlike tulips which are native to Central Asia, daffodils are European wildflowers, native to areas of France, Spain and Portugal.

Holland is not the ancestral home of any bulb flowers. But it's the home of almost all the hybrids, since the Dutch hybridizers have not only created thousands of new flowers gardeners love, they've developed a huge national industry that supplies bulbs to gardeners worldwide.

To a wild gardener, of course, the original un-hybridized species (and their close hybrids) are all interesting, and even better, they're all dependably perennial. Plant them once, and they're there forever. Unlike the hybrids which develop bigger and bigger clumps each year, and have to be divided every few seasons for good bloom, the wild species simply spread, like they do in the wild. So there is no maintenance for the wild bulbs, once you get them established.

Here are the major wild species:

  • Narcissus tazetta
  • Narcissus triandrus
  • Narcissus pseudonarcissus
  • Narcissus jonquilla
  • Narcissus poeticus recurvus
  • Narcissus clyclamineus'

Tiny Gems

"These were so surprisingly delicate and fairy-like. Would love them throughout the garden. I planted them at the base of greenery that contrasted beautifully with their delicate color."

— Lin (5/5)

Beautiful and sweet smelling

"Bought a lot from American Meadows and every single thing I planted came up beautifully. These pipit daffodils are so cute, and lasted for weeks in the garden before finally starting to fade. A few even put up smaller secondary blooms a couple weeks after the first ones. They also smell nice."

— Isabella (5/5)

I love the beautiful dark yellow flowers. Easy to plant.

"Perfect for spring brilliance under trees."

Love these!!!

"Love these!!! They took longer to come up than I expected. . . or maybe I was just impatient for spring. . . but they're in full bloom now and look amazing with the grape hyacinth I planted them with (delft variety from a. m. )."

— Dena (5/5)

Excellent for my woodland gardens

"10/10 in size and quality of bulbs Purchased several varieties of daffodils. . . just kept cutting for my house and to give away First year planting is always later blooming so I have already ordered for this fall"
