- Soil: Moderately fertile, moist, well-drained soil
- Rate of growth: Average
- Flowering period: March to May

- 10 × Narcissus 'Salou': The outer 'petals' of these gently ruffled flowers are a soft creamy white, while the inner perianth segments are a zesty citrus yellow. This combination offers a fresh colourway, that looks beautiful when woven through the border or added to pots. The flowers are also excellent for cutting, and have a good vase life when kept in a cool room. Grows to 35cm.
- 10 × Narcissus 'Obdam': Strong stems carry many-petalled, gently ruffled flowers in spring, adding colour and scent to borders and pots. Initially, each creamy flower has a yellow colouring to its eye, but this tends to fade as the flowers mature, so that by the end of their season, ivory-white becomes the predominant colour. Grows to 40cm.
- 10 × Narcissus 'Tahiti': A beautiful double-flowered form, which has large golden petal-like segments that nestle around the smaller, rich orange ruffled ones. The fact that each flowerhead can grow up to 10cm across, coupled with their distinctive two-tone effect, make this a stand-out addition to the spring garden. Grows to 45cm.
- Garden care: Plant 10-15cm deep from late summer to early autumn. After flowering feed with a balanced fertiliser, deadhead and allow the leaves to die back naturally.
- Humans/Pets: Harmful if eaten; skin irritant
With excellent vase life, these zesty and bicoloured double-flowering narcissi are bursting with pale, lemony yellow freshness complemented by the elegant white of ‘Obdam’. A dazzling collection for those seeking a combination of perfectly matched blooms in a cut-flower or spring border display.
