Introducing Narcissus
Commonly known as the Tenby daffodil, the Narcissus obvallaris carries flowers of clear golden yellow and grows to a height of 24cm. This sturdy variety, flowering in February and March, looks striking naturalised in grass.
Narcissus 'February Gold' is a hybrid, with flowers resembling those of one of its parents, Narcissus cyclamineus, which is named after the cyclamen-like shape of its flowers. It has bright yellow blooms with long, darker yellow trumpets and ruffled rims, and produces a wonderfully abundant display between February and March.
