Little Mary Lou

Description

Little Mary Lou bears three to four 37 mm-wide flowers per stem, pairing white perianth segments with a strong pink, cup-shaped corona. Its broadly ovate, smooth perianth segments spread flat, overlap by half, and have blunt tips ending in a small point, with incurved margins; the inner segments are narrower and scarcely pointed. The smooth, 7 mm-long corona has a slightly constricted, wavy mouth with an unbroken rim. A dwarf, mid-season cultivar, it was named for Mary Lou Gripshover, an active American Daffodil Society member and dear friend.
