Daffodil (Narcissus) 'Ice Wings'
An exquisitely beautiful and graceful Triandrus daffodil, 'Ice Wings' lives up to its name with clusters of nodding, ice-white flowers. Each strong stem carries up to three blooms, each with distinctly swept-back, wing-like petals. This strong reflexing of the petals gives the flower an elegant, windswept appearance. The central cup is long and conical, perfectly matching the pristine white of the petals. It is a vigorous grower and a reliable perennialiser, forming lovely clumps that bring a cool, serene beauty to the mid-spring garden. Winner of the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit, it's a fantastic choice for sophisticated container displays, naturalising under trees, or creating a calming drift of pure white in borders.
