Daffodil
Narcissus 'Barrett Browning' is a small-cupped daffodil, reaching 14 to 16 inches in height. It produces glistening white petals surrounding a showy orange-scarlet cup, which is slightly frilled at the rim. The blooms appear in mid-spring, with one flower per stem, making them excellent for borders, containers, and cut arrangements. Thriving in full sun to part shade, 'Barrett Browning' prefers well-drained soil and is deer-resistant, rabbit-resistant, and drought-tolerant. This variety has won the Wister Award from the American Daffodil Society.

Growing and Maintenance Tips for Narcissi Small Cupped 'Barrett Browning'
Planting: Plant bulbs in fall, 6 inches deep and 4 to 6 inches apart, with the pointed end up. These daffodils are ideal for mass plantings or refined borders.
Location: Full sun to partial shade. They bloom best with at least 6 hours of sunlight daily.
Soil: Well-drained, moderately fertile soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0–7.0). Enrich with compost or leaf mold.
Watering: Water after planting and during active spring growth. Once foliage yellows, reduce watering—bulbs prefer dry summer dormancy.
Temperature: Hardy in USDA zones 3–8. Requires a winter chill to bloom reliably.
Fertilization: Apply compost or a low-nitrogen fertilizer in fall and again in early spring.
Pruning: Deadhead spent blooms to prevent seed formation. Allow foliage to die back naturally to recharge the bulb.
Propagation: Naturalizes by offsets. Divide clumps every 4 to 5 years in summer when dormant.
Pest & Disease: Deer- and rodent-resistant. Good drainage prevents bulb rot.
