Species Narcissi Golden Bells
N0584
Description
Like celebratory chimes pealing from the church after a sunlit morning service, Narcissus ‘Golden Bells’ triumphantly announces the commencement of spring. Adorned with large, flared, yellow trumpets forming a distinctive bell shape, the broad blooms of this botanical narcissus face upwards, attracting pollinators to nestle in their hollows. Astonishingly free-flowering, one bulb will produce up to 15 heads, dancing above fine, grass-like foliage. This low-growing variety is shown to best advantage in rockeries, alpine beds, the edges of borders and containers. ‘Golden Bells’ is remarkably vigorous and will form impressive carpets of colour if left to naturalise.
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.
