Narcissus Seagull
White rounded outer segments with a small yellow cup edged in red. One of the lovely seedlings raised pre 1893 by the Rev. Engleheart of Bath (he was also responsible for White Lady). 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, white with small bright cup.
Planting instructions
Plant them in cool rich soil in sun or slight shade quite deeply with 5-6” (12-15cm) 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.
