Description

Mondragon Butterfly Narcissus, also known as the Orchid-flowered Mondragon Narcissus, is one of the best in its category. Prolific, floriferous, and fragrant, it forms a beautiful light yellow open flower with a split and frizzy bright orange crown. They are perched at the top of a very strong, sturdy, stem, perfect for bouquets and resistant to the wind. It will flower in March-April, along with hyacinths and early tulips. It is also an easy-to-grow and hardy plant that settles well in the garden.

 

The 'Mondragon' Narcissus belongs to the lily family (Amaryllidaceae), more precisely to division 11 of the large narcissus family, which has 12 divisions. The Narcissus genus includes about 50 species mainly found in Western Mediterranean, but also in Africa and Asia. 'Mondragon' is vigorous and prolific. It reaches about 35 cm (14in) in height for the foliage, 45 cm (18in) in flower. Its flowers are bicoloured, composed of a sulphur-yellow corolla with a flat, split orange crown. It flowers mid-early, in March-April, with yellow-green flower buds that open into large slightly fragrant flowers. Split-crown daffodils have a crown of petals split for at least a third of their length, with the edge turned back towards the slightly curly petals. The flowers have six petaloid tepals. The six stamens are inserted into a cup-shaped crown or paracorolla. The foliage is deciduous, linear, and disappears in summer. This variety easily multiplies by producing bulblets.

 

'Mondragon' Split-crown Narcissus grows well in any well-drained and loosened soil, but the results are less satisfactory in excessively wet or acidic soils. There is such a choice narcissus that you can enjoy them for three months in spring without getting bored. They can all naturalise easily, love yellow and white, and often emit sweet fragrances. So many reasons to grow them in large clumps (at least 20 bulbs) for a mass effect. Associate 'Mondragon' in formal flower beds, with scilla and hyacinths or early tulips, forget-me-nots, pansies, or liverworts. A bunch of 'Mondragon' Narcissus in a vase will look sensational. This narcissus is also perfect for [pots.

 

Daffodils are narcissus, they 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 preserved the charms of wild plants and thrive in rock gardens: N.bulbocodium, N. canaliculatus, N.juncifolius, N.pseudonarcissus, the simple wood daffodil, are among the prettiest. For bouquets: we advise you not to mix narcissus with other flowers like tulips, as the stems of narcissus contain a substance that quickly wilts other flowers. This detrimental effect on other flower types can be mitigated by dipping the ends of narcissus stems in hot water for 1 to 2 minutes.

Planting and care

'Mondragon' is undemanding and vigorous and it will thrive in any well-drained and loosened soil, but the results are not as good in excessively wet or excessively acidic soils. The warmer and drier the climate, the more tolerant it will be regarding the nature of the soil. 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 any drought. The bulbs can remain in the ground. Remove faded flowers to promote 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 flower less well, so you can divide them from July to September when the leaves are dry and immediately replant the bulbs (undamaged).
