This charming duo of narcissus varieties offers a delightful fragrance and stunning blooms. The Cheerfulness variety features multiple creamy-white or pale yellow petals with a hint of yellow at their centres, arranged in clusters of up to six flowers per stem. The Gardenia Narcissus is named for its resemblance to the elegant gardenia flower. Selected for its enchanting scent and large, velvety double blooms, it boasts rows of frilled petals. Flowering from March to April, Gardenia Narcissus is a wonderful choice for cut flowers and can even be forced indoors to enjoy winter blooms. However, like all double narcissus, be sure to wait until the flowers are fully open before cutting them. .
Daffodil and narcissus bulbs are easy to establish in any moist, well drained soil. Plant the bulbs in full sun or semi-shade at a depth of approximately 10cm (4″) and at a distance of 10cm (4″) apart. Narcissus and Daffodils look particularly eye-catching when grown as drifts in borders or informal areas of grass. For a really natural effect, cast the bulbs across the area and plant them where they land.
For an attractive indoor display, plant daffodils and narcissus in containers of bulb fibre and position them cool garage or other well ventilated, dark position at a maximum temperature of 10°C (50°F). Water sparingly when necessary to keep the compost moist. When the growing shoots reach a height of 10cm (4″) move the containers to a cool bright position indoors (approximately 16°C or 60°F).
