Gardenlore’s Narcissus in 2023

Narcissus ‘Bridal Crown’

Below is our palette of narcissus flowers which we’re selling for the autumn of this year. These will all be available as bulbs, ready to be planted ASAP. Later (in the spring), they will be only available in pots to guarantee that you get blooms that year.

Narcissus (along with alliums and fritillaria) are in the special group of spring flowering bulbs which are truly deer proof – they all produce compounds that are toxic to deer. Narcissi in particular produce isoquinoline alkaloids as a method to protect from getting munched – this is why daffodil pickers must wear gloves to avoid the major skin irritation that arises from contact with the sap.

Narcissus Paperwhite ‘Ziva’
One of the earliest paperwhites to bloom, Narcissus papyraceus ‘Ziva’ (Tazetta Daffodil) is a sweetly scented daffodil with large clusters of pure white blooms. Each bulb can produce 3-4 stems with typically 4-8 blooms per stem, all exuding a lovely spicy scent. Winter hardy in zones 8-11, where it will happily bloom for years, ‘Ziva’ is widely known as the all-time favorite for indoor forcing, and is the easiest of these to grow. The longer the bulbs are stored, the faster they will turn into blossoms. They might take a month to bloom when planted in November, but only 2 weeks if planted in January! 16-18”

Center petal colors deepen as the flower matures to golden tangerine tones, radiating warmth in the mid-spring garden.

Daffodils have been favorites since Victorian times – cheerful, bright and easy to grow. Provides welcome color and will multiply and thrive with minimal care. 16”

Narcissus ‘Yazz’
 ‘Yazz’ has a distinctive look and attitude: it opens with a pale yellow perianth that matures to ivory with a luxuriously frilled apricot to pink to yellow cup accented by an apricot-pink to pink cup rim. As all Jonquillas, in a long, cool spring, it fully develops in form and color. Yazz benefits from filtered sunlight so that it may develop its best pink colouration. Each sturdy stem bears two to three highly fragrant 2″ blooms. 14-16”

Narcissus ‘Erlicheer’
We love ‘Erlicheer’ for its divinely fragrant blooms, clusters of creamy white double-petaled blooms and their reliability when forced to bloom indoors as winter decorations. While individual blooms are about an inch wide, the clusters they form per stem are 3-5” across, sitting atop slim stems. Nothing cheers one up like the gift of sweet scented blooms during our dark winter days. Allow 4-6 weeks until bloom. 12-16” tall.

Narcissus ‘Delnashaugh’
The regal 4” flowers on this ravishing variety conjure images of waterlilies on long stems. Light melon and ivory tinted centers are tightly packed like layers of overlapping petticoats. White anthers emerge from the center while the blossoms are surrounded by rounded white petals. Tall, sturdy stems support these blooms well in the vase or garden. A must grow! Mid- late season 16-18” tall.

Narcissus ‘Cum Laude’
The heart-shaped blooms of this orchid-like variety are truly unique, and the flowers smell like wintergreen mints. Golden-peach frilled cup petals, with a rich salmon band along the ruffled edge, fade to warm apricot tones as blooms mature, and they are framed with lovely white petals. So unusual, we are reminded of iris and daylily shapes in this showiest of the split-coronas. Midseason 14-16”.
