Description

A collection of 25 Narcissus with orchid-like flowers resembling butterflies

10 Narcissus 'Precocious'

5 Narcissus 'Sorbet'

5 Narcissus 'Vanilla Peach'

5 Narcissus 'Waltz'

 

Individually labelled.

Narcissus are the hardiest bulbs planted in autumn. They tolerate both full sun and partial shade. They prefer well-drained soil but also thrive in heavy soil.

For bouquets: We recommend not mixing Narcissus with other flowers. Tulips, in particular, wilt quickly when in contact with Narcissus stems, as they contain a substance that causes this. To mitigate this negative effect on other types of flowers, dip the ends of the Narcissus stems in hot water for 1 to 2 minutes.

Narcissus come back every year. Unlike perennial plants, there is no need to fertilise them before flowering. Only cut the leaves when they turn yellow and apply fertiliser: this is when the bulb replenishes itself and prepares the flowers for the following year.

Planting and care

Narcissus flowers from March to May and returns every year. Very easy to grow, they adapt well to both the shade of a woodland and a sunny flower bed. Plant them at a depth of 10cm (4in) and spaced 10cm (4in) apart. Plant them in groups of at least 5 bulbs, in patches of uniform colours or mixed. You can plant them in a lawn. In this case, lift the grass turf, and dig and loosen the soil to a depth of at least 20cm (8in) (the height of a spade). Plant your bulbs, cover with soil, and replace the grass turf. Choose a place where you will not mow, as you must let the narcissus leaves wither before cutting them. This is when the bulb reconstitutes 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 deplete the bulb.
