Species Narcissi Pseudonarcissus
N0587
Description
Also known as the ‘Lentern Lily’, ‘Pseudonarcissus Lobularis’ is the original wild British daffodil. Petals of pastel, pale yellow are crowned by a deeper mustard coloured trumpet. Gracing the garden with an air of Informality and romanticism, the modest stature of these daffodils blends well amongst grass without dominating the scene. Incredibly easy to grow, ‘Pseudonarcissus’ are some of the best daffodils for naturalising, being perfectly adapted for the British climate. Ideal for meadow planting, grassy banks, and dappled shade under trees, the ‘Lentern Lily’ will soon form glorious swathes of joyous colour. The longer they are left undisturbed, the better they become!
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.
