Narcissus obvallaris (13)

The daffodil suitable for naturalising that grows wild in South Wales is the Tenby daffodil and this looks just like it with a neat and tidy all yellow flower (though there is some doubt as whether it is exactly the same plant). Perfect for planting into rough grass to provide ‘bomb-proof’ simple yellow daffodils.

RHS Award of Garden Merit.

Narcissus obvallaris has been awarded the RHS Award of Garden Merit because it has proved to be reliable in appropriate conditions and a good performing plant. 

Planting Instructions

Narcissus obvallaris bulbs should be planted in groups of 2 or 3 in unregimented drifts for a natural look, about 4-5" (10-12cm) deep and about 4" (10cm) between bulbs, but leave gaps too. They are well suited to growing in rough grass or borders but do not mow or fertilise the grass till they have gone quite dormant in July as this period of replenishment of the bulb''s starchy food reserves is critical to future flowering. A liquid feed while leaves are still green will benefit clumps in poorer soil.
