Comments

Fls 2 per stem, 76 mm wide, milk white, facing down; perianth segments broadly ovate, lightly reflexed, overlapping; corona short funnel-shaped.

According to The American Horticultural Society’s 1937 issue of the The American Daffodil Year Book, Guy L. Wilson’s article “Some Modern Daffodils for Garden Decoration” states: “…Niveth seems quite reliable, and would be a very charming subject in a small border of choice bulbs, or at the edge of a larger border, or on rock work; it has small drooping pure marble white flowers of the utmost refinement, occasionally borne two on the stem.”
