What's included:
In each collection you will receive 10 bulbs each of the following:
Narcissus 'Actaea':An old-fashioned variety that has been awarded the Award of Garden Merit by the Royal Horticultural Society for it great qualities. The flowers are quite different from the traditional daff, having a ruff of large white outer petals and a small yellow cup edged with orange. They have a lovely scent and are said to be largely ignored by deer, so a good choice for a wild meadow. Grows to 45cm.
Narcissus 'Flower Drift': 'Flower Drift' forms charming clumps adorned with slightly grey-green, strap-shaped leaves. Its double flowers, measuring up to 10cm (4”) across, boast broad white outer petals and smaller white petals intricately mixed with short segments of yellow-orange corona in the centre, creating a captivating visual display. Blooming in early to mid-spring, each stem proudly carries a single flower, making this double daffodil an excellent naturaliser in lawns and meadows where it remains deer and rabbit resistant. Grows to 40cm.
Narcissus 'Flower Record': Exuding a subtle fragrance, 'Flower Record' presents elegant blooms featuring pristine white petals complemented by a gently ruffled, golden-yellow cup edged in striking red. Bursting forth in mid to late spring, this intriguing narcissus graces beds, borders, and containers with its timeless beauty, and it thrives indoors when forced. Renowned for its longevity and increased vigour year after year, this award-winning daffodil is a superb naturaliser, adding reliable and repeat charm to meadows, orchards, and grasslands. Grows to 40cm.
