Amaryllidaceae. Horticultural cultivar of the Tazetta group, very close to the cultivar 'Avalanche' (sometimes called 'Seventeen Sisters'), whose origin dates back to the Netherlands. The identification of this specimen remains uncertain, as the corona is noticeably paler than in reference descriptions.
The plant reaches 35 to 45 cm in height. The foliage is narrow, upright, and a deep green. The most immediate characteristic is its exceptional floral generosity, with each stem bearing numerous flowers, sometimes up to twenty, gathered in dense yet airy clusters. The tepals are white, slightly reflexed, and the corona, short and flared, is a very pale cream to ivory white, barely distinct from the tepals — giving the whole a uniformly white, singularly luminous tone.
In cultivation, flowering occurs in April, among mid-season daffodils. Cultivars of the Tazetta group are renowned for their intense fragrance, inherited from their Mediterranean ancestors.
It is grown in well-drained soil, in full sun or light partial shade. Robust and perennial, it naturalizes willingly and multiplies by dividing clumps every three to four years.
