Narcissus ‘Canaliculatus’ is a terrific dwarf species, which valiantly punches above its weight. The name may be a tongue-twister, but the flowers are neat and sweet, with a milk-white perianth and a miniature canary yellow cup above handsome, blue-green foliage. With up to 4 heads carried in umbels, each stem seems laden with bowing blooms. The compact size of this bantam variety lends itself to edging borders and rockeries and dotting amongst lawns. Capitalise on the soft scent by filling containers by the door. Short, sturdy stems are suitable for more exposed positions, where ‘Canaliculatus’ will hunker down contentedly and bloom unperturbed.
