Narcissus Sweetness
The RHS Award of Garden Merit
Sweetness lives up to its name and its ability to produce a great scent has resulted in it being used in breeding programs the results of which are interesting. Only 12 Daffodils have won the Wister Award, top honour of the American Daffodil Society and they are all progeny of Sweetness! All-yellow with reasonably fine and narrow foliage this is an easy grower in any sunny situation. These do not fit into the other groupings, but are nevertheless perfect for garden use. Scented bright yellow flowers in March, 14" (35cm) tall.
Planting instructions
Any reasonably sunny spot where you will catch the perfume will do. Plant them really 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.
