Posted by jmorth (central Illinois) on Mar 5, 2014 1:22 AM "N. jonquilla, JONQUIL, EARLY LOUISIANA, 1612 “The sweetest smelling flower your grandmother grew,” says our friend Celia Jones of Sisters’ Bulb Farm near Shreveport, and for many Southerners N. jonquilla’s fragrance is the essence of spring. With clusters of nickel-sized flowers that seem made for fairies, our true heirloom blooms much earlier than modern Dutch forms. A.k.a. Sweeties, Simplex, Cologne Bottle, and more; 13 Y-Y, 8-10”, zones 6b-8b(10bWC)." Old House Gardens description. [ Reply to this comment \| ]
