Jonquilla Narcissi Campernelle Double
N0453
Description
This Odorus Plenus is the true ‘Queen Anne’s Double Jonquil’: with a lineage which can be traced back to 1601, this deeply historical variety retains its appeal over 400 years on. Jonquilla Narcissus ‘Campernelle Double’ sports layers upon layers of deep yellow, pointed petals, displayed in a ruff like a lion’s golden mane. Clusters of up to 4 flowers per stem produce an outstanding fragrance sufficient to stop you in your tracks. These bright blooms make a spectacular feature for spring pots, and for planting in naturalising drifts for a burst of colour amongst lawns and borders.
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.
