Tazetta daffodils are fragrant spring bulbs that bring clusters of delicate flowers to gardens from March through May across hardiness zones 5 to 8. Narcissus 'Martinette' grows 12 to 24 inches tall with a spread of 6 to 12 inches, producing showy blooms on sturdy stems. These nearly pest-free bulbs thrive in full sun to partial shade, tolerate drought once established, and naturally resist deer and rabbit browsing, returning reliably year after year with minimal care.

The real charm of tazetta daffodils lies in their fragrance and prolific flowering habit. Deer and rabbits leave these bulbs completely untouched, making them a rare spring treasure in gardens plagued by browsing. Once planted in fall, they ask for almost nothing: they handle drought during dormancy, thrive in average well-drained soil, and bloom prolifically without fussing.
Tazetta daffodils naturalize beautifully in lawns, meadows, and borders, spreading gradually to create drifts of spring color. Their fragrant, showy flowers also cut well for indoor arrangements, bringing their sweet scent into the home.
