Narcissus cyclamineus
cyclamineus daffodil
A graceful, miniature daffodil, ‘cyclamineus’ is one of the earliest Narcissi to bloom, displaying bright yellow single-heads with distinctive swept-back petals and slender trumpets which resemble cyclamen, hence their name. Tolerant of some shade, these wonderful bulbs naturalise easily and would be ideal for planting beneath deciduous trees or shrubs, where they will put on a wonderful early show.
How to care for Narcissus cyclamineus:
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. After flowering, and while still in leaf, consider planting out into the garden for an annual display each spring.
