Narcissus Cyclamineus, 9cm
£7.50
notes
This dainty, miniature daffodil is one of the first narcissi to bloom, offering a welcome trumpet of bright yellow to herald spring. Its slender flowers tend to hang down with petals reflexed back – which is why it’s called a cyclamen daffodil. These plants naturalise easily, and as they can tolerate shade, they look wonderful planted as drifts in woodland areas. Supplied in 9cm pot.
Dimensions
- Pot size: 9cm
- Height & Spread: up to 15cm (6in) x 10cm (4in)
