One of the premier cultivars of its class. Excellent to force. Swept back petals look like it's blooming in front of a fan. Less than a foot in height. Good for the show bench. More tolerant of partial shade than other daffodils. Multiple awards winner. Bred in the US by G.E. Mitsch..
The International Daffodil Register & Classified List notes several matches for this daffodil's designation. This is the only one in the Cyclamineus (Div 6) category (others are in division 1 or 9).
