Mary Poppins is a cute and prolific little thing, but one might ask: What’s it doing in the daffodil list? Well, believe it or not, it is a daffodil, a bulbocodium daffodil. Bulbocodiums have extra-large cups but their petals are reduced to spurs. Once you wrap your head around the concept, you can focus on Mary’s incredible profusion of flowers, which start creamy yellow and turn almost pure white.
Deer and Rodent Proof
Note: Mary Poppins produces foliage in fall — typically not in the first fall, but every fall thereafter. In cold climates, the leaves can be damaged during winter, turning brown at the tips. The spring flowers are usually produced in sufficient abundance to disguise any winter injury.
