Description
Narcissus 'Sailboat' is a small variety of daffodil that produces 2 to 3 fragrant white flowers with a sulphur yellow centre, gradually turning to creamy white. Standing at just 25cm (10in) tall, it is ideal in a lawn or at the edge of a sunny flower bed, where it will multiply to form colourful patches that faithfully return every year.
Narcissus 'Sailboat' belongs to the Amaryllidaceae family, just like ornamental garlic or snowdrops. Horticultural hybrid narcissus are divided into divisions based on the botanical species they originate from. There are 13 divisions. 'Sailboat' belongs to division 7, which is associated with N. jonquilla, a small Iberian species adapted to rather warm climates. All related varieties are characterised by narrow and almost cylindrical leaves, and an umbel of 2 to 5 flowers per stem. Each flower is also equipped with a small shallow cup-shaped crown and emits a pleasant lemon scent. The perianth (composed of identical petals and sepals) is spread out.
Narcissus 'Sailboat' flowers are usually grouped in threes. They bloom in April and early May. Their perianth is ivory white, and the crown is sulphur yellow. Over time, the whole gradually turns to creamy-white.
Given the influence of Narcissus jonquilla in its genes, 'Sailboat' prefers fairly warm soils. It will not thrive well in very cold regions, especially if planted in the shade. Choose a sunny location that warms up quickly, and avoid heavy, moist soils. Once the appropriate location is found, it is a vigorous and trouble-free plant that will multiply abundantly over the years. You will eventually obtain beautiful, highly flowered clumps that will perfume your flower beds. It is also a very good plant for naturalising in a lawn.
Please note that the sap is irritating and toxic, as with all narcissus plants.
Pair 'Sailboat' with other similar narcissus varieties, such as 'Pipit', which is slightly taller. It will also work wonders alongside Geranium 'Cluden Sapphire', as it accompanies the start of its flowering, or in a rockery with Alyssum 'Goldkugel' and Iris 'Making Eyes'.

Planting and care
Daffodils are not demanding when it comes to soil type. They thrive in ordinary soils that are preferably moist and rich. Plant 'Sailboat' bulbs in a sunny or partially shaded location that is not too cold. To stagger the flowering, place them in several locations, varying in sunlight, as daffodils flower depending on the amount of sunlight they receive.
Plant from September to November for spring flowering. Plant the bulbs at a depth of 15cm (6in), with the pointed end facing upwards, and keep a spacing of 8cm (3in). You can plant them in groups of 5 to 10 bulbs to achieve a beautiful display of colour in spring.
Daffodils require little maintenance. Remove the faded flowers to prevent the bulb weakening from seed production. After flowering, let the foliage die naturally and only cut it when it turns yellow. The bulb uses the foliage to replenish itself and prepare for the following year's flowers.
Daffodil bulbs can remain in place from year to year. If the clumps become dense and less floriferous, they can be divided from July to September when the leaves are dry. Replant the bulbs immediately, discarding any damaged ones.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).

In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
