Narcissus bulbocodium
hoop petticoat daffodil bulbs
A low-growing, miniature narcissus variety, the curiously shaped hoop petticoat daffodil has slender dark green leaves and bright yellow, funnel-shaped flowers with narrow perianth segments. A wonderful choice for alpine beds and rockeries, Narcissus bulbocodium is also perfect for filling pots and windowboxes with spring colour. Pot them up and place them in a prominent spot on the patio or windowsill while in bloom.
How to care for Narcissus bulbocodium:
Wearing gloves plant bulbs 5-10cm deep and 5-10cm apart in autumn. After flowering feed with a balanced fertiliser, deadhead the flowers, but do not be tempted to cut back or tidy the foliage after flowering as this will interfere with the bulbs’ ability to store energy for the following year's flowers.
