• Soil: well-drained soil
• Rate of growth: fast-growing
• Flowering period: late February to April

  Clusters of up to three deep golden-yellow flowers with slightly reflexed petals and deep yellow cups appear in March and April above the narrow, strap-shaped leaves. One of the most popular forms, this delightful dwarf narcissus makes a fabulous early spring display for a sunny windowbox. Blue grape hyacinths and slow-growing variegated ivies help to extend the season of interest.
  
  
• Garden care: 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.
