BASIC COLLECTION of SHOW DAFFODILS

All are consistent show winners, and most are readily available at moderate prices. A few more expensive ones have been listed in categories where there is not much choice, and in some cases because they are just too good to be left out.

Especially good cultivars are marked with an asterisk,*, and really super ones with two, **. Nearly all are good growers, and the few finicky ones are worth the effort. Give April Love, Akepa, Ice Chimes, Lemon Silk and Ocean Breeze extra good drainage.

Aim for a balanced collection, in rough proportion to the numbers of cultivars listed for each division. Listed by division and simplified color code:
