Narcissus Love Call Daffodil Bulbs – Split-Corona Fall Planting

One of the most eye-catching daffodils you can grow, Narcissus 'Love Call' is a stunning split-corona (butterfly) daffodil that commands attention from across the garden. Its broad, ivory-white outer petals frame a brilliantly ruffled tangerine-orange cup edged in marigold yellow — a combination that looks almost too vivid to be real.

Why Gardeners Love It

• Distinctive butterfly silhouette — the split cup fans open like outstretched wings
• Vivid tangerine and ivory color combination pairs beautifully with tulips and double daffodils
• Excellent cut flower — blooms last ~7 days in a vase
• Deer- and rodent-resistant
• Naturalizes over time, returning year after year

After Bloom Care

Allow foliage to die back naturally after blooming — the leaves replenish the bulb for next season's display. If using as a cut flower, condition Love Call separately for a few hours before mixing with other flowers, as daffodils release a sap that can shorten the vase life of other blooms.
