Description
'Petit Four' Double Flowered Narcissus is loved for its beautiful flower. It unfolds a large solitary flower, formed by a frill of apricot and white petals, surrounded by a tubular and frilly apricot corolla, resting on white petals. The flowering takes place in the middle of spring. It is a remarkable cut flower and beautiful in borders, flower beds or large pots. It is an easy plant to grow, full of charm and very hardy.
The 'Petit Four' Double Flowered Narcissus belongs to the liliaceae (Amaryllidaceae) family, more precisely to division 4 of 12, in the large narcissus family. The genus Narcissus includes about 50 species mainly found in the western Mediterranean, but also in Africa and Asia. 'Petit Four' produces a very sturdy 40 cm (16in) tall flowering stem. It is mid-late flowering in April, with a large green-yellow floral bud opening to delicious 11 cm (4in) diameter flowers, in pastel colours which fade slightly with age. Double Flowered Narcissus have an extra crown of petals and a long flowering period. The flowers have six petal-like tepals. The six stamens are inserted in a cup-shaped crown or paracorolla. The deciduous, linear foliage disappears in summer.
There are so many varieties of narcissus that you can enjoy them for three months in spring without ever getting tired. They can all naturalise easily, love yellow and white, and often emit a sweet fragrance. So many reasons to grow them in large clumps (at least 20 bulbs) for a mass effect. Combine 'Petit Four' in formal flower beds with scilla and hyacinths, double tulips, forget-me-nots, pansies or liverworts. A bunch of 'Petit Four' Double Flowered Narcissus in a vase will be stunning. This narcissus is perfect in pots.
Daffodils are the same as narcissus, these belong to division 7 of the group. Native to southern Europe and North Africa, they have flowers grouped in pairs or more. Botanical species have kept the charm of wild plants and thrive in rockeries: N.bulbocodium, N. canaliculatus, N.juncifolius, N.pseudonarcissus, the simple wood jonquil, are among the prettiest. For bouquets: we advise you not to mix narcissus with other flowers such as tulips, as the stems of narcissus contain a substance that quickly wilts other flowers. This detrimental effect on other flower species can be mitigated by dipping the ends of the narcissus stems in hot water for 1 to 2 minutes.

Planting and care
'Petit Four' double-flowered daffodil is undemanding and will thrive in any well-drained and loosened soil, but the results are less satisfactory in excessively wet or acidic soils. Plant the bulbs from September to mid-December, 15 cm (6in) deep with a spacing of 8 cm (3in), in a sunny or partially shaded location (at least 3 hours of sunlight per day). Left undisturbed, your daffodils will produce more and more flowers each year. It is a good idea to water in drought. Daffodils can stay in the ground. Remove faded flowers to allow the accumulation of new reserves in the bulb. After flowering, let the foliage die naturally and only cut it when it turns yellow. If the clumps become too dense, they will bloom less well, so divide them from July to September when the leaves are dry and replant the bulbs (not damaged) immediately.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
