Narcissus Baby Moon

Narcissus with small clusters of flowers in golden yellow. Late flowering. The stems each bear 2 to 6 flowers.

Narcissus are the most resilient bulbs planted in autumn and will thrive both in full sun and partial shade. They prefer well-drained soil but also thrive in heavy soil.

For bouquets: We advise against mixing narcissus with other flowers, especially 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.

Narcissus come back every year. Unlike perennial plants, it is unnecessary to feed before flowering. Only cut the leaves when they have turned yellow and apply fertiliser at this time, this is when the bulb replenishes itself and prepares flowers for the following year.
