Description

The 'Quail' Narcissus is a small golden-flowered daffodil. Each stem bears 2 to 3 flowers, it is multiflorous. It is slightly taller than its very close cousin 'Tête à Tête'.

Do not be fooled by its delicate appearance, it is a hardy and resistant plant. It thrives in both sun and partial shade. Plant the 'Quail' narcissus wherever you like, in borders, rock gardens, and even pots and containers. Since it blooms early in spring, consider also pairing it with shrubs with decorative bark, such as dogwoods and willows that are still bare at this time. Planted together, they will enhance each other.

To tell the difference between a narcissus and a daffodil, look at the size of the trumpet. If it is as large (or larger) than the wide flower, then it is a daffodil. But daffodils belong to the botanical genus Narcissus. So, in any case, whether it is a daffodil or not, you are dealing with a narcissus.

Planting and care

The 'Quail' daffodils bloom in March or April and come back every year. Very easy to grow, they can thrive in both the shade of a woodland and a sunny flower bed. Plant them 10 cm (4in) deep and 10 cm (4in) apart. Group them in minimum sets of 5 bulbs, in patches of uniform colours or in a mix. You can plant them in the short grass meadow. In this case, lift the turf, dig and loosen the soil to a depth of at least 20 cm (8in) (the height of a spade). Plant your bulbs, cover with soil and replace the turf. Choose a spot where you won't mow, as it is necessary to let the daffodil leaves wither before cutting them. This is when the bulb replenishes itself and prepares the flowers for the following year. However, remember to remove the flowers as soon as they have withered to prevent seed formation. This would unnecessarily exhaust the bulb.
