Narcissus 'Topolino'
trumpet daffodil bulbs
Fragrant lemon-yellow coronas, each with a ruffled edge, are surrounded by pointed, creamy-white perianth segments. Blooming in early spring, 'Topolino' is noted for its sturdy habit. This heirloom trumpet daffodil is an excellent addition to cut flower arrangements. First introduced in 1923, this very pretty bulbous perennial is a recipient of the AGM from The Royal Horticultural Society.
How to care for Narcissus Topolino:
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.
