Narcissus 'Toto'
miscellaneous daffodil bulbs
A great addition to the rockery, patio pot, windowbox or front of border, this miniature daffodil puts on a great spring display with its pretty flowers, which appear 2 or 3 at a time on the stout stems. When the flowers first appear, the cup is yellow, but this quickly fades to cream to match the perianth (the petal-like bits that surround it), and this in turn becomes slightly reflexed so the flowers have a windswept appearance. Narcissus 'Toto' is lovely!
How to care for Narcissus Toto:
Wearing gloves plant bulbs 10-15cm (4-6in) deep and 10cm (4in) 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.
