Narcissus 'Erlicheer'
double indoor daffodil bulbs (syn. Narcissus Early Cheer)
Highly fragrant, early flowering narcissus that can be grown outside in a sheltered bed or 'forced' for an early display indoors. Clusters of soft creamy-white double flowers, with a deeper buttery yellow centre, create a mass of beautiful multi-headed blooms (up to 20 per stem). The intoxicating scent, said to be similar to a gardenia, needs to be appreciated so plant in containers near a door, a seating area or potted up for your living room. Once they have finished flowering indoors you can move them into the garden to die back naturally. Don't forget these gorgeous blooms are wonderful as cut flowers too.
How to care for Narcissus Erlicheer:
Wearing gloves plant bulbs 10-15cm deep and 10cm apart in autumn. After flowering feed with a balanced fertiliser, deadhead the flowers, but do not be tempted to cut back or tidy the foliage after flowering as this will interfere with the bulbs’ ability to store energy for the following year's flowers.
