Description

Narcissus Nir is a bulbous plant. In spring it produces beautiful pure white flowers. The outer petals are curved while the crown is very small. They are perched in groups on long stems and have a sweet fragrance. The green, deciduous leaves are sword-shaped with entire edges.

Daffodils are increasingly appreciated today because they are synonymous with spring. Nir reaches a height of 30 to 40 cm (12 to 16in) at maturity. Originally from the Mediterranean basin, this narcissus can be planted in flower beds, lawns, rockeries and pots. Its flowers can be put in a vase, where it is best not to mix them with other flowers.

Daffodils are toxic and do not tolerate bad weather such as rain, which damages the flower. Nevertheless, it is one of the most resistant autumn bulbs, and a faithful plant that comes back every year. Narcissus is part of a Greek legend according to which a handsome young man rejected the love of the nymph Echo. As punishment, the gods made him love nothing more than his own image. When he perched above a fountain to drink, Narcissus saw his reflection and stayed in contemplation in front of it until he fell in and drowned, whereupon he transformed into a flower.

Planting and care

Plant Narcissus in full sun or partial shade. They are easy to grow and will thrive in woodland shade or a sunny flower bed. They prefer moist but well-drained soils. Plant them in autumn, 15 cm (6in) deep and 10 cm (4in) apart, in minimum clusters of 5 bulbs, in uniform or mixed colours. To plant them in the lawn: lift a patch of turf, dig and loosen the soil to a depth of at least 20 cm (8in) (the height of a spade), place your bulbs, cover with soil and replace the turf. Choose a spot where you won't mow, as you must let the narcissus leaves wither before cutting them. This is when the bulb rebuilds itself and prepares the flowers for the following year. However, remember to cut the flowers as soon as they have faded to prevent seed formation which would unnecessarily deplete the bulb. Cut the leaves when they have turned yellow and apply fertiliser then, not before. Maintain regular watering during the growing season and let the soil dry out once the foliage is mature.
