| Height | 40cm (16in) |

| Care Tips | Plant anytime from August - November. They are very tolerant bulbs. |
| Flowering | April |
| 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. |
