Species Narcissi White Petticoat
N0595
Description
Like the voluminous, swishing crinoline skirts worn by Victorian ladies, Narcissus ‘White Petticoat’ sports a capacious, flared crown of crisp white cotton. Each shapely trumpet is nipped at the waist and girded by diminutive, pointed anthers. These distinctive, unusual blooms are the height of style and flaunt their beguiling form by pirouetting lightly on wiry stems above fine foliage. This Narcissus bulbocodium is best admired up close in rockeries, alpine beds, and the fronts of borders and containers. Surprisingly robust and vigorous despite its delicate appearance, ‘White Petticoat’ will return with an increasingly impressive display year after year.
Care Guide
Plant Daffodil and Narcissi bulbs in autumn, ideally in mid September to early October to enable roots to establish before a period of cold in winter. A position in full sun or light shade is best and good drainage is essential. Daffodils and Narcissi are long lasting and naturalise well, providing a welcoming display every spring. Ideal for borders, containers, rock gardens and open grass. Plant the bulbs 10-20cm deep and apart, depending on variety. A good rule of thumb is to plant bulbs 2-3 times their depth. Flowers appear in March and April and should be deadheaded once faded. The foliage should be left to turn yellow and fade naturally on the plant as this helps to feed the bulbs for next year’s blooms.
