Narcissus 'Flower Drift'
double daffodil bulbs

- Soil: moderately fertile, moist but well-drained soil, or peat-free general purpose potting compost
- Rate of growth: average
- Flowering period: March to April

'Flower Drift' forms charming clumps adorned with slightly grey-green, strap-shaped leaves. Its double flowers, measuring up to 10cm (4”) across, boast broad white outer petals and smaller white petals intricately mixed with short segments of yellow-orange corona in the centre, creating a captivating visual display. Blooming in early to mid-spring, each stem proudly carries a single flower, making this double daffodil an excellent naturaliser in lawns and meadows where it remains deer and rabbit resistant.
Wearing gloves, plant bulbs 10-15cm (4-6in) deep from late summer to early autumn. After flowering feed with a balanced fertiliser, deadhead and allow the leaves to die back naturally.
