Narcissus lobularis
wild species daffodil bulbs
This is a wild daffodil rather than a cultivated variety, so it will give a more naturalistic effect when planting in open woodland or grassy meadows. It has creamy-white petals with a yellow trumpet. These may be slightly more erratic at producing flowers than other daffodils, but they are much more tolerant of shady positions.
How to care for Narcissus lobularis (Haw.) Schult. & Schult. f.:
Wearing gloves plant bulbs 10cm deep and 10cm apart in autumn. After flowering feed with a balanced fertiliser, dead-head 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.
