Daffodil, small-cup hybrids

Small-cup daffodils have all the same qualities of large-cup and trumpet daffodils with the exception of the size of their cups. To be classified as a small-cup daffodil, the cup must be less than a third the length of the petals.

Most small-cup daffodils bear only one flower per stem. Blooms may be yellow, white, pink, or bicolor, and some are fragrant. Daffodils make good cut flowers. Plants may be full size or miniature. All varieties in this class are deer and rabbit resistant.
