Narcissus moschatus

Narcissus moschatus is a botanical species that produces pendulous, white flowers. It will reach a height of approximately 15 to 20 cm (6 to 8in). Narcissus are easy-to-grow and hardy bulbous plants that can be easily grown in the garden. Bulbs should be planted in autumn for flowering in April.

Native to Western Europe, daffodils belong to the Amaryllidaceae family. The narcissus genus includes numerous species and varieties, both of botanical origin (such as the Musk Narcissus) and horticultural. The daffodil (Narcissus jonquilla), with its yellow flowers and reed-like leaves, is one of the species in the Narcissus genus. In some regions, the yellow narcissus or trumpet narcissus (Narcissus pseudonarcissus) is sometimes called daffodil, leading to frequent confusion between daffodil and narcissus.

This Narcissus produces flowers with white petals, with a flared tube in the centre, also white. Its flowers are pendulous. 

Narcissus flower for about fifteen days between February and May, depending on the varieties (April for this variety). These flowers are perfect for cut flowers, as long as they are not mixed with other flowers because the sap releases a substance that accelerates wilting.

Narcissus are easy to grow in various locations in the garden: in the foreground of a shrub bed, along borders, in the middle of a lawn or in pots. It pairs well with grape hyacinths, early tulips, and hyacinths, and naturalises easily. Be careful as the bulb, flower, and leaves are toxic. This deciduous bulbous plant is hardy and perennial, and bulbs can remain in the ground for several years.
