Known since 1620, golden petals tightly packed round the golden trumpet; very easy.
Order Code: 113-73
Narcissus Van Sion
A golden trumpet with many tight packed petals in its first year, sometimes bursting out thereafter! All yellow and as tough as they come. 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 and date to before 1620. Many more remain to be rediscovered and loved again. However these are early days and the stocks of these are still not huge. Double flowers produced in March 15" (38cm) tall, bright yellow.
Planting instructions
Plant in grass, possibly in slight shade, 5" (12cm) deep and 5" (12cm) apart in small clumps where it will remain cool, moist and safe 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 5" (12cm) apart, further apart for more 'relaxed' planting.
