Jonquilla Narcissi Sabrosa
N0477
Description
The name ‘Sabrosa’ means ‘tasty’ or ‘delicious’ in Spanish: although this daffodil is not edible, the citrus blooms are certainly a delectable sight. The petite petals are the colour of lemon curd, matched by a luscious, zesty aroma. This Jonquilla Narcissus bears the accolade of an RHS Award of Garden Merit in recognition of its versatility, resilience, and reliability in the garden.
The long-lasting flowers dangle in clusters of up to 4 heads on sturdy stems, bringing a burst of sunshine to pots and rockeries, and naturalising happily in swathes amongst lawns and borders.
Care Guide
Plant Daffodil and Narcissi bulbs in autumn, ideally in early October to enable roots to establish before a period of cold in winter.
A position in full sun or light shade is best and good drainage is essential. Daffodils and Narcissi are long lasting and naturalise well, providing a welcoming display every spring.
Ideal for borders, containers, rock gardens and open grass.
Plant the bulbs 10-20cm deep and apart, depending on variety. A good rule of thumb is to plant bulbs 2-3 times their depth.
Flowers appear in March and April and should be deadheaded once faded. The foliage should be left to turn yellow and fade naturally on the plant as this helps to feed the bulbs for next year’s blooms.
