Through the years I've tried just about everyone for bulbs but A.D.R. is tops. It's a family run business and the service levels and expertise are as good as the product they sell. My clients rave about the results we get with A.D.R. and that makes me happy.

Narcissus 'Flower Drift' is a double daffodil, reaching 12 to 18 inches in height. It produces large, fully double blooms with creamy-white petals surrounding a warm orange-yellow center, creating a layered, ruffled effect. The flowers bloom in early to mid-spring and are sweetly fragrant, making them excellent for cut arrangements. Thriving in full sun to part shade, 'Flower Drift' prefers well-drained soil and is deer-resistant.

Planting: Plant bulbs in fall, 6 inches deep and 4 to 6 inches apart, with the pointed end up. Choose a sheltered spot—double blooms are heavier and benefit from wind protection.
Location: Full sun to partial shade. At least 6 hours of sunlight daily ensures strong stems and vibrant blooms.
Soil: Well-drained, fertile loam with a pH of 6.0–7.0. Enrich with compost or peat moss to improve drainage and structure.
Watering: Water after planting and during active spring growth. Reduce watering once foliage yellows—bulbs prefer dry summer dormancy.
Temperature: Hardy in USDA zones 3–9. Requires a winter chill to bloom reliably.
Fertilization: Apply compost or a balanced, low-nitrogen fertilizer in fall and again in early spring.
Pruning: Deadhead spent blooms to prevent seed formation. Allow foliage to die back naturally to recharge the bulb.
Propagation: Naturalizes by offsets. Divide clumps every 4 to 5 years in summer when dormant.
