Narcissus Golden Bells
A very vigorous form of N. bulbocodium (Hoop Petticoat) with sometimes 15 flowers to each bulb. They do need good light in the spring and a warmer site helps though they are perfectly hardy. In leaf early, with very narrow leaves. These low growing varieties are best suited to sinks, pots or the front of borders. In leaf early with very narrow leaves, Yellow ‘Hoop Petticoat’ flowers in March/April 6” (15cm) tall.
Planting instructions
Plant them only 1-2” (3-5cm) apart, in small clumps of 3-5 bulbs in moist soils, not too limey, in a sunny site about 3-4” (7-10cm) deep. 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.
