Tazetta Narcissi Martinette
N0457
Description
The bold, playful blooms of Narcissus ‘Martinette’ will turn heads with their eye-catching colouring and tantalising scent. Petals of zesty lemon curd yellow edge a short, rounded cup of rich, marmalade orange. This Tazetta variety is heartily recommended for its bright, citrus fragrance which hovers deliciously in the air. The vibrant, glowing flowers sway above glaucous, chive like foliage which fades subtly at the end of the season. With up to 6 heads carried on strapping, straight stems, ‘Martinette’ offers an impressive spectacle planted in borders, rockeries, lawns, and containers, and in your home as a cut flower.
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.
