'Artist's Palatte'
Fall - Mid-November
For the second season, a selection of tazettas will be available through PHS Daffodils, owned by the renowned Jason Delaney of St. Louis, MO. A long time daffodil buddy and occasional partner in crime, Jason's commitment to the genus Narcissus is unwavering and inspired.
Winter tazettas are very responsive to weather conditions, meaning they wiggle about on the calendar year to year based on hurricane rains, late heat waves with drought, and cold snaps or lack thereof. Shade from trees or annuals which keep soils cooler will slow down foliage emergence. Heavy rains in July or August will trigger root growth. Fall heat waves with drought will slow down the growth cycle. All that said, bloom seasons given here are based on over six years' growing data near the Gulf of Mexico.
