Understanding Plant Options
Nature Hills offers plants in two main formats:
- Container Plants: Grown in pots with soil, sized by container volume and plant age
- Bare Root Plants: Dormant plants without soil, sized by height measurements

There is nothing better than stepping outside after a long winter and reveling in the beauty of your garden's first flowers. Ice Follies Daffodil bulbs (Narcissus 'Ice Follies') take the best colors of winter and turn them into a wonderful blossom that welcomes spring with its radiance.
Ice Follies features lovely, snow-colored petals and a large cup that is exactly the color of the sun shining overhead. You'll love the colors, but you'll love the wonderful fragrance the blossoms will bring to your garden more. The trumpet has creamy white ruffled edges that darken to soft yellow inside.
The flowers of this specimen are set upon strong and sturdy stems, that look great in the garden or in a vase bouquet. This makes them perfect for cutting and bringing inside so you can enjoy their sweet scent wherever you are! Hardy 3-9, these perennial ornamental bulbs can be planted in the fall and bloom in the spring.
Planting and Application:
Perennial gardens, cut flower gardens, Cottage borders, and pollinator plantings - that feed early emerging butterflies and bees - are all lovely locations for these cheerful and bright blooms! The fragrance perfumes your porches and patios in planters and container gardens.
The slender foliage and strong stems look great in the garden, as a border plant, and as edging. Create rows and groupings or let Ice Follies naturalize politely to create en masse drifts of spring color. These easy-to-grow perennial bulbs appreciate having larger perennials and shrubs around them to provide shade from the summer sun.
- Fragrant Creamy White Petals & Ruffled Ombre Cream/Yellow Centers
- Combines Well With Early Spring Ephemerals
- Green Slender Foliage
- Excellent Cut Flowers & Indoor Forcing For Winter Color
- Great for Mass Displays, Containers & Garden Edging
#ProPlantTips for Care:
They are as easy to grow fall-planted bulbs as planting in a little soil and giving them some water and bright light. Bulbs require full sun outdoors, or bright indirect sunlight indoors. Any soil type is suitable so long as it is not soggy. Add bulb fertilizer to each hole for best results and provide moderate moisture during drought. Deadhead after flowers fade but keep the leaves so they can make food for the bulb and next year's flowers! Its blooms endure through spring showers and days of sunshine.
- Full Sun For Strongest Stems & Growth
- Moderately Moist Well-Drained Soil
- Deadhead After Bloom, Prune to Ground When Leaves Yellow
- Very Cold Hardy
- Deer & Rodent Resistant
Bring the crystalline beauty of winter into spring and add Ice Follies Daffodils' sweet fragrance to your gardens and containers, or indoors for winter décor. Order today at Nature Hills and we'll ship quality bulbs to you at the proper planting time for your area.
