Narcissus 'Papillon Blanc' - Organic bulbs
Natural - organic bulbs
- Position: full sun or partial shade
- Soil: well-drained soil (for container-grown bulbs use two parts John Innes No.2 compost to one part sharp grit)
- Rate of growth: average
- Flowering period: March to April
- Hardiness: hardy
- Bulb size: 12/14
Large white outer petals (or perianth segments), which look a little like the wings of a butterfly, surround the gently ruffled, green-eyed yellow cup. Together they form a beautiful flower that looks wonderful in borders or seasonal bedding schemes - and as they last well after being cut, they are also excellent for the vase.
This tulip forms part of our organic bulb range. Sadly there are only a handful of growers who are currently able to grow their bulbs organically, so although we stock as many as we can source, our range is limited. They are supplied in a plastic-free compostable bag. - Garden care: Plant 10-15cm (4-6in) 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
