Daffodil - Trumpet ‘Ice Follies’

Daffodil - Cream with pale Yellow center

                                    ID#1398

 
 

Daffodil bulbs lighten up the foresty front and back of our home yard.

2,850 bulbs solid Yellow ‘Dutch Master’  planted between 2016-2021

3,500 bulbs white and yellow-peach center planted between 2022-2024


This ‘Ice Follies’ variety sent by Provider’s error left me with 1,150 bulbs to plant Fall 2024.

Ice Follies are slightly shorter that the others I have, and may bloom a week or two later.


TOTAL of : 7,500 bulbs (2016-2024)

HEIGHT X SPREAD: 16” tall PLANT TYPE: Bulb/ seasonal/ Spring GROWTH RATE: medium TEXTURE: medium LIGHT: Full sun to part shade WATER: once at planting and dance for rain. SOIL: Planted among forest trees with a underfloor full of natural stones is a rough place to grow, inspite of it results are very pleasing.
As observed in Coastal NC. BLOOMS: Cream petals with pale yellow trumpets. Mid Spring bloomers with large cups. FRUIT AND SEED: ? KEY FEATURES: Bulbs will continue to increase in number and bloom each Spring for years to come
A year cycle in the life of ...... at Mooring Hitch Fall 2024: (9) bags of nominally 100/bag had 125-130 per bag. I estimate planting 1,150 of this variety. NOTE: I paid nothing for this variety batch. Provider sent wrong variety this year, corrected the error sending additional shipment with correct variety ordered “Sempre Aventi” leaving me with 9 bag (100/bag) ‘Ice Follies’ I personally planted, in the course of 2 weeks 2,700 bulbs Fall 2024. Most likely my last year planting in this yard, no more space! “This yard has had 7,200+ daffodil bulbs planted by myself, with the esception of my grandkids Ayden and Grayson that planted 100 for me.”
