Grant E. Mitsch Novelty Daffodils, Oregon, USA, 1941 – 1970

Mr. Mitsch was the premier American hybridizer for over 50 years.    He also grew Gladiolus and Iris before concentrating exclusively on daffodils in 1941.  He grew many fine flowers in all divisions and expanded considerably the flowers available in Divisions 5-7 which were often referred to as the “minor divisions,” and which were largely neglected at the time.  His daughter Elise and  her husband Richard Havens continue the business as Mitsch Daffodils
