Narcissus 'Altruist' is a strikingly distinctive small-cup daffodil — one of those varieties that catches your eye from across the garden with its brilliant, contrasting colors. Apricot-yellow overlapping petals frame a shallow, vivid dark orange-red cup, creating a jewel-like bloom that stands out beautifully in mixed borders and rock gardens. A superb naturalizer that multiplies reliably year after year.

After Bloom Care
Do not cut back foliage after flowering — this period replenishes the bulb's starchy food reserves and is critical to future flowering. A liquid feed while leaves are still green benefits clumps in poorer soil. Plant in distinct groups rather than randomly for the best visual impact.
