Comments

Mount Nittany’s snout is cylindrical before ending with its wide, frilly flare. The golden yellow flowers are held well above the foliage.

Origin of Name

Named by registrant Richard Ezell for the Nittany Mountain, a prominent geographic feature in Centre County Pennsylvania, U.S.. This follows the tradition of Dr. Bender to register daffodils with Pennsylvanian inspired names.
