Narcissus Minnow  AGM.gif

The RHS Award of Garden Merit

Small flowered, with several pale yellow discs, themselves superimposed with a smaller darker disc like cup. It is a pretty flower but not one to grow in cold or dark gardens, the foliage will get too long and the stems lean. In a sunny sheltered garden they are a variety I wouldn’t be without. These do not fit into the other groupings, but are nevertheless perfect for garden use.  Multiheaded primrose yellow flowers in March/April 12” (30cm) high.

Planting instructions

A Daffodil for a sheltered sunny spot and in cold gardens try to find a more sheltered site. Plant the bulb quite deep, with 5” (12cm) soil above it to keep it cooler and moister, and safer from activity above it 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.
