More Details

An extraordinary, yet beautiful dwarf daffodil, with highly cut petals like a child's home-made tissue paper star. It's invaluably early to flower with pretty buds flushed with green.

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.

They all flowered beautifully and good to have a slightly more unusual type.

Stunning, again brilliantly packed bulbs, everyone flowered with the most beautiful ‘lacy’ heads. Can’t recommend Sarah and her company highly enough.

From photos I thought these looked a little mad and in reality have found them to be a delightful surprise. I planted them around a mahonia Soft Caress. Their petals complement the mahonia leaves and this spot now draws the eye in its sprightliness. These narcissus are like small fizzy fireworks. A total joy! I will want more next year.

Stunning
