Narcissus Toby the First
Neat and tidy, with a long narrow soft yellow trumpet and creamy perianth. I first came across it on the show bench, but it makes a great garden plant too. Even in the first year it often produces several flowers per bulb. Flowering in early April it can be potted for forcing (for even earlier display). These low growing varieties are best suited to sinks, pots or the front of borders and reach 7” tall.
Planting instructions
Plant bulbs 2-3” (5-8cm) apart in any reasonable soil, 3” deep (8cm) where they will remain more cool, more moist and safer from activity above them in the summer. Alternatively pot into John Innes No 2 for early colour and plant out in the garden later. 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 2-3” (5-8cm) apart, further apart for more 'relaxed' planting.
