Narcissus obvallaris
species daffodil or the Tenby daffodil bulbs
Narcissus obvallaris is the variety that grows wild in South Wales, and is often described as having perfect proportions. It has an all-yellow flower and is extremely hardy.
It is ideal for planting into rough grass or meadows where it will spread when left undisturbed. The tidy appearance makes it equally good for beds and borders throughout the garden and could even be used in pots and windowboxes.

How to care for Narcissus obvallaris:
Wearing gloves plant bulbs 10-15cm (4-6in) deep and 10cm (4in) apart in autumn. After flowering feed with a balanced fertiliser, deadhead the flowers, but do not be tempted to cut back or tidy the foliage after flowering as this will interfere with the bulbs’ ability to store energy for the following year's flowers.
