Narcissus 'Martinette'
tazetta daffodil bulbs
‘Martinette' is a strongly-scented tazetta daffodil with grey-green leaves and stems bearing four or five flowers with lemon yellow petals, pale orange at the base, and ribbed, bright orange trumpets. The early spring sprays look dazzling in pots and the front of borders but come into their own as cut flowers to fill a room with fragrance.
How to care for Narcissus Martinette:
Wearing gloves plant bulbs 10-15cm deep and 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.
