Order Code: 113-48
Narcissus Pencrebar
Short in stature yet perfectly proportioned, this pre-1929, all yellow double has its centre full of petals and, being a jonquil seedling, is strongly scented. These early daffodils have particular interest for us, this one lost but found again in an ancient garden in Cornwall. 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. Double yellow flowers in April 12" (30cm) tall.
Planting instructions
Plant in reasonable light (to avoid flopping), buried 3-4" deep in good soil 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.
