Narcissus bulbocodium 'Arctic Bells'
Narcissus bulbocodium 'Casual Elegance'
Narcissus bulbocodium 'Julia Jane'
Product Description
The Narcissus bulbocodium Collection is a trio of hoop-petticoat daffodils - ‘Arctic Bells’ (7/8cm bulbs), ‘Julia Jane’ (5/6cm bulbs) and ‘Casual Elegance’ (6/7cm bulbs). They share a distinctive flared trumpet form, varying in tone and seasonal timing from late winter into early spring.
‘Julia Jane’ is often the first to appear, sometimes in mild autumn spells, carrying soft yellow flowers above fine, narrow foliage. ‘Arctic Bells’ follows in paler ivory-white, lighter in tone with a cooler visual character. ‘Casual Elegance’ completes the group with richer golden colouring and a more sharply defined hoop shape, giving the strongest structural presence. All remain low-growing at around 15-20 cm.
They favour free-draining soils in full sun or open gravel, where the floral form is best appreciated at close range. Good companions include Crocus, Iris reticulata and Scilla, with low spring planting such as Aubrieta, Pulsatilla and compact Dianthus extending interest at ground level.

Growing at a glance…
Daffodils (or narcissi) are both easy to grow and incredibly reliable. Like many bulbs, it takes very little time to plant them. Remove any weeds in the area you'd like to plant your bulbs and dig at the soil to aerate it. Fork in some organic matter to improve the drainage and soil structure. Daffodils prefer sunny spots and well-drained soil, so keep this in mind when planting. Plant each bulb 2-3 times the bulbs height and place it with the shoot facing upwards. Space them twice their width apart. Cover with soil and water if the ground is dry.
