Tazetta Narcissi Cheerfulness
N0512
Description
Each sturdy stem of Narcissus ‘Cheerfulness’ is like a miniature bouquet of pint-sized peonies for early spring. Sumptuous, frilly, fully double blooms are borne in bunches of up to 4 flowers with petals of alabaster white. This outstanding variety proudly flaunts an RHS Award of Garden Merit, and is a proven performer for borders, lawns, rockeries, and containers. This Tazetta is notable for its especially sweet scent and makes a wonderful cut flower to fill the room with honeyed perfume. ‘Cheerfulness’ is also suitable for forcing in indoor planters for a long-lasting floral display you can admire without even having to step foot outside.
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.
