I have a thing for white narcissi. They are – on the whole – hugely elegant and stylish and none more so than this. Narcissus 'Petrel' has lovely reflexed petals and an excellent scent.

Vase Life | Narcissi make great cut flowers lasting up to a week in the vase. I love them jumbled up in large jugs on the table. Be careful mixing with other flower types as their stems give off a compound that is toxic to other flowers and soak their stems in warm water before displaying to stop the 'goo' from running out. |
