Delight in this enchanting narcissus collection, boasting ruffled white petals framing vibrant orange-edged cups, charming snow-white blooms with yellow centres, and opulent creamy trumpets maturing to pure white - a symphony of classic elegance, fragrance and natural splendour gracing gardens and bouquets.
In each collection you will receive 10 bulbs each of the following:
Narcissus 'Actaea': An old-fashioned variety that has been awarded the Award of Garden Merit by the Royal Horticultural Society for it great qualities. The flowers are quite different from the traditional daff, having a ruff of large white outer petals and a small yellow cup edged with orange. They have a lovely scent and are said to be largely ignored by deer, so a good choice for a wild meadow. Grows to 45cm.
Narcissus 'Anniversary Gift': With its classic charm, 'Anniversary Gift' heralds the arrival of early spring with its glorious display. Supported by strong, robust stems, the large flowers stand proud, showcasing snow-white petals gently reflexed around a prominent yellow cup. These sturdy blooms not only make excellent cut flowers but also thrive in beds, borders, and informal settings, adding a touch of natural beauty to sunny and partially shaded areas with minimal maintenance required, and deer and rabbit resistance assured. Grows to 30cm.
Narcissus 'Mount Hood': Showy, off-white petals and creamy-white trumpets that fade to off-white as they mature, make up the gorgeous flowerheads of this popular daffodil. Making a marvellous, mid-season statement, 'Mount Hood' is considered by many to be one of the best all-white varieties. Grows to 50cm.
Plant 10-15cm (4-6in) deep from late summer to early autumn. After flowering feed with a balanced fertiliser, dead-head and allow the leaves to die back naturally before removing them.
