Confused with Mrs Langtree, we think this is the right name.

Narcissus Elegance
With slightly spidery creamy coloured perianth segments and a longer cup of a darker colour we think that this cannot be the Mrs Langtree under which this plant is sold elsewhere. In the old books Mrs Langtree is described as being all white. These are however lovely flowers, soft, relaxed and tall enough to move in the breeze.. These early daffodils have particular interest for us. They have a quaintness and informality that is largely lost in modern daffodil breeding, yet they have stood the test of time having been at their peak of popularity in Victorian times. Many more remain to be rediscovered and loved again. However these are early days and the stocks of these are still not huge. Flowering in April, 18” (45cm) high.
Planting instructions
Plant these in reasonably well prepared conditions (they will be there some time) quite deeply with 4-6” (10-15cm) of soil over the bulb, where it will remain more cool, more moist and safer from activity above them in the summer. Do not be tempted to cut back or tidy the foliage after flowering – this period of replenishment of the bulb's starchy food reserves is critical to future flowering. A liquid feed while starchy leaves are still green will benefit clumps in poorer soil. I would suggest you plant them in distinct groups and not randomly – the effect is generally better. They should clump up from being planted about 4" (10cm) apart, further apart for more 'relaxed' planting.
