The glowing centre of large cupped Narcissus ‘Gentle Giant’ brings warmth and depth to the spring garden, creating a sunrise-like effect that stands out beautifully in March and April displays.

Reliable and long lasting, it offers striking impact without overpowering surrounding planting schemes.
Care Guide
Plant Daffodil and Narcissi bulbs in autumn, ideally in mid September to 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 10-20 cm 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.

Otherwise known as the ‘Orchid Daffodil’, the flawless Triandrus Narcissus ‘Thalia’ offers a touch of regal refinement. The pared-back purity of this swanlike bloom provides sophisticated serenity against the vivid flowers of other spring bulbs. With elongated, winged petals skirting a delicately frilled crown, the little flowers dance lightly above fine, silvered foliage.
The multi-headed stems deliver an outstanding show for container displays. When planted en masse amongst borders and lawns, the heady perfume of these highly fragrant gems is enough to stop you in your tracks. Despite its apparent daintiness, narcissi ‘Thalia’ is robust and vigorous, reappearing and multiplying every spring with free-flowering abundance.
