Tiny daffodils
Showy and conspicuous daffodils bring vibrant color to gardens in late winter and spring. Miniature daffodils have a charm all their own—they are dainty and adorable, especially in rock gardens and containers. There’s no official definition for miniature, though garden catalogs typically describe these daffodils as 10 inches or shorter. The term miniature may apply not only to the plant’s mature height but also to blossom size. ‘Tete-a-tete’ (4-8") is one of the most commonly available miniature daffodils—it has tiny, dark-yellow, trumpet-shaped flowers (about an inch in size). It naturalizes well, as do ‘Baby Boomer’ (4-8"), which has multiple buttery-yellow flowers per stem, and ‘Jetfire’ (6-10"), which has reflexed yellow petals and an orange trumpet. The choices of minis are many—the American Daffodil Society lists nearly 200 varieties of miniature daffodils. Visit the Web site at http://daffodilusa.org/references/
