Narcissus poeticus var. recurvus
pheasant’s eye species daffodil bulbs
- Position: full sun or partial shade
- Soil: well-drained soil
- Rate of growth: average
- Flowering period: March to May
- Hardiness: fully hardy
Fantastically fragrant, pure white May flowers with windswept petals and tiny, red-rimmed yellow cups. This old pheasant's eye narcissus is ideal for naturalising in grass. The small, sweetly scented blooms associate well with other native wildflowers, such as snake's head fritillaries and cowslips, which once flourished on moist pastureland. - Garden care: Wearing gloves plant bulbs 10-15cm (4-6in) deep from late summer to early autumn.
- Humans/Pets: Harmful if eaten; skin irritant
