No one company is going to offer all 25,000 narcissus or even close to it, but companies like the ones I suggested above will give you a wide selection of the best varieties. For more on this see my post on selecting narcissus.

Carlton, February Gold, Grand Primo, Hawera, Quail, Tete a tete, and Thalia are some good ones. Karen Nell Jean,

One other concern, especially for those of us in the south, is which cultivars thrive best in our climate. Ice Wings and Juanita have done well for me, among others. Rip Van Winkle has glorious foliage and not one single bloom, in three years of residence here. Hardest for me is narrowing the list to fit my budget.

I had no idea that there were so many different styles of Narcissi. I inherited mine and they are something like Marieke and Serola (though mine is white w/orange inside). I think I may try a few others for next spring! WONDERFUL article! I had no idea that there were so many different styles of Narcissi.
