Description:

Daffodils are one of the classic signs of spring, with their cheerful yellow or white trumpet shaped flowers bobbing above clumps of strap-like green leaves from late February onwards.  They look equally good in borders, in containers or as naturalised drifts in lawns.

Narcissus 'Cheerfulness' is a late flowering daffodil, with strongly scented creamy white double flowers. 'Cheerfulness' has wonderful, blowsy, creamy white flowers.
