Mando  is in Division 1. It blooms in early to mid spring with sweetly
scented bright yellow flowers.  The
flowers are 3 ½ inches wide with a long trumpet that is a slightly darker shade
of yellow than the petals.  This daffodil is commonly substituted for the cultivar
King Alfred by Dutch growers which has become virus infected.  Mando does
best when planted in full sun in moderately rich soils.   To allow Mando
to dry out during its summer dormancy, interplant it with other plants
that are actively growing in summer and will pull water out of the soil.
