The pale lemon-coloured flowers of this cultivar fade to creamy white almost as soon as they open, so really stand out on darker spring days. This time-honoured daffodil has been around since Victorian times, when it was valued for its slightly twisted petals and nodding flowerheads, which create an unstructured looking flower. This also makes Narcissus 'W.P. Milner' perfect for wilder style gardens and open woodland where it can be left to form large clumps.
Wearing gloves plant bulbs 10-15cm (4-6in) deep and 10cm (4in) apart in autumn. After flowering feed with a balanced fertiliser, deadhead the flowers, but do not be tempted to cut back or tidy the foliage after flowering as this will interfere with the bulbs’ ability to store energy for the following year's flowers.
