Daffodil (Double)

About the Daffodil (Double)

Double-flowered varieties have extra petals creating ruffled rose-like blooms instead of the classic trumpet shape. There are over 13,000 registered daffodil varieties. They contain lycorine, which makes them deer and rodent proof. They are one of the first spring flowers, often pushing through snow. They naturalize freely, forming massive drifts over decades. Galantamine extracted from daffodils treats Alzheimers disease. They are the 10th wedding anniversary flower. All parts are toxic if ingested. They symbolize spring and renewal across many cultures.
