NARCISSUS ‘RIJNVELD’S EARLY SENSATION’I think this yellow trumpet narcissus is very special. I had it on the sale in 2019 because it is advertised to bloom so early that it might bloom in the snow. Of course, last year we didn’t have any snow. However, when it did bloom it was such an intense yellow color I couldn’t take my eyes off it. It tolerates cold and has a long blooming period. Plant where it gets full sun or partial shade with good drainage. Fragrant. 14” height. Deer and rodent resistant.
