Bright, cheerful, and beautifully fragrant, Gay Tabor is a classic heirloom-style daffodil featuring crisp white petals surrounding a rich golden-yellow cup. Its timeless color combination brings light to the spring garden and pairs effortlessly with tulips, muscari, fritillaria, and other spring-flowering bulbs.

Blooming in mid-spring, Gay Tabor produces sturdy stems that hold up well in both the garden and the vase. Its sweet fragrance and reliable perennial nature make it a favorite for cutting gardens, cottage borders, and naturalized landscapes. Like most daffodils, it is deer and rabbit resistant and returns year after year with minimal care.

Whether planted in sweeping drifts or tucked throughout perennial beds, Gay Tabor offers a fresh, classic spring display that never goes out of style.
