Hi Jane, Vlad, and other Narcissus lovers, Cheerfulness is in the Div. 4, Double Category. It is from 1923 according to the bulb catalog I’m looking at. I always plant out the forced paperwhites since I live in cooler Zone 8 as they do well here. I just wait until the weather moves into late winter or early spring. I am one who really enjoys all kinds of Narcissus, especially since all are at least cold hardy in my climate. I don’t have to worry, as I do with some of our other treasures, that they will get killed by a hard frost. It has been so much fun getting some of the more unusual ones from this group.

Is 'Cheerfulness' one? I haven't planted any paperwhites out in the garden after forcing them, so don't know how they would do. Right now a lot of small hybrids such as 'Sundial' are in flower, at the end of the narcissus season, but I don't know anything about their ancestry. > > Janhe > > On 4/22/2021 12:55 PM, Vlad Hempel via pbs wrote: >> Jane, do you grow any tazetta hybrids?
