Baby Moon daffodil (Narcissus jonquilla ‘Baby Moon’) is a pocket-sized charmer that saves its show for late spring, extending the bulb season just as tulips fade. Slender stems carry clusters of 3–5 nickel-sized, golden blooms with a delicious, sweet fragrance, held above fine, grassy foliage. It’s ideal for front borders, rock gardens, pathways, and patio pots where you can enjoy the scent up close. Plant bulbs in fall, about 6–8 weeks before the ground freezes, in full sun to light shade and sharply drained soil. Set 3–4 inches deep and 3 inches apart; avoid soggy spots to prevent rot. Water after planting and keep moderately moist through bloom, then allow soil to dry during summer dormancy. Do not cut or braid the leaves—let them yellow naturally to feed next year’s flowers. Baby Moon is deer and rabbit resistant, long-lived, and excellent for naturalizing. In cooler climates, choose a warm, sheltered microclimate for best bloom. Pair with grape hyacinths, creeping phlox, and species tulips for a cheerful, bee-friendly tapestry.
