Pseudonarcissus Narcissus obvallaris - Wild Daffodil Bulbs

Narcissus pseudonarcissus or wild daffodil will spread by self-sowing in grass and beneath trees and shrubs. It's the longest lasting, easiest and most successful daff to grow for naturalising. Very hardy. The bulbs of pseudonarcissus are much smaller than you might expect for Narcissus, and they sometimes may not all flower the first year but will in time as the bulbs increase in size.

Pseudonarcissus are available in packs of 10, 25 and 50 bulbs. Larger quantities on request. Please note that these are conventional untreated bulbs, grown in an environment friendly way.

 

Narcissus obvallaris planting instructions:

Pseudonarcissus bulbs are best grown in cool meadows or grassland in groups about 7cm deep. Try and mimic a swathe rather than a block. Do not mow or fertilise the grass till they have gone dormant in July; this period of replenishment of the bulbs starchy food reserves is critical to future flowering. Over the years they will bulk up, and look after themselves and with the addition of some very simple other natives - fritillaries, cowslips, primula - they would make a very attractive spring meadow.

  • Height: 10 - 25cm
  • Spread: 5 - 15cm
  • Time to plant: September to November, 8-10cm deep.
  • Flowering: March/April.
  • After flowering feed with a balanced fertiliser, dead-head and allow the leaves to die back naturally.
