Species Narcissi Spoirot
N0590
Description
Join the mad-hatter’s tea party of ‘Spoirot’: like falling down the rabbit hole of Alice in Wonderland, these are daffodils, but not quite as you know them. Deep, tea-cup shaped bowls of ivory porcelain with a delicately waved rim are framed by short, star-shaped, pointed petals.
The intriguing, animated little blooms frolic on wiry stems. ‘Spoirot’ is remarkably hardy and vigorous and has thus been granted the highest seal of approval from the RHS – an Award of Garden Merit. This Narcissus bulbocodium is ideally suited to adorning rockeries, alpine beds, containers, and the fronts of borders, where its fascinating form can be fully appreciated.
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.
