Species Narcissi Little Gem
N0591
Description
The adorable Narcissus ‘Little Gem’ is a lilliputian treasure. This miniature trumpet daffodil justifies the adage ‘good things come in small packages.’ Each superb bloom is perfectly proportioned, neat and dainty, with petals the colour of a newly hatched chick. A charming dwarf species to tuck into the tiniest spaces, well suited to edging borders and paths and lining pots. This little stalwart has earned itself the accolade of an RHS Award of Garden Merit, testimony to its robust nature. ‘Little Gem’ is suitable for exposed locations, where its small, sturdy stature will leave it unaffected by the worst of the weather.
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 10-20cm 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.
