Tazetta Narcissi Avalanche
N0511
Description
The strong, upright stems of Narcissus ‘Avalanche’ carry a remarkable plethora of blooms – up to 20 flowers are held in generous clusters on each stem. Broad, milk-white petals encompass a dinky, buttercup-yellow, acorn-shaped cup. This cultivar bears a well-deserved RHS Award of Garden Merit, confirming its exceptional quality.
Heighten the extraordinary fragrance of ‘Avalanche’ by planting in swathes amongst borders, lawns, and rockeries, and in pots against a sunny wall. This Tazetta variety responds equally well to indoor growing – try forcing bulbs in bowls to bring spring joy even when the weather outdoors is not so tempting.
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.
