The Narcissus ‘Pipit’ is anything but a “plain old daffodil.” The longer the bloom is open the more sure you are that you actually have a different flower. At first, you probably think the pictures are of different bulbs, but they aren’t. The bloom has pale yellow petals that surround a similar colored cup when it first opens. The longer the bloom stays open though the more the cup changes colors to a light ivory/white. Each stem holds multiple blossoms and each bulb produces multiple stems. The ‘Pipit’ has a smaller bloom than many Narcissus but it certainly isn’t a mini daffodil. The fragrance and colors make the ‘Pipit’ a great choice to bring inside as a cut flower.
Planting
Plant the bulbs about 2–3 times the size of the bulb (so if the bulb is 1 inch long, plant it 2–3 inches deep). If you are farther north and get very cold during the winter, you may want to plant it about 4–6 inches deep. Space the holes about 3–6 inches apart, and for a more natural looking display, consider planting 2–3 bulbs in each hole.
