Canaliculatus Narcissus Bulbs — 7 Bulbs

Pure white and a yellow cup in a striking small cluster

Canaliculatus narcissus produces white flowers surrounding a distinct yellow cup. The petals curve slightly backwards, highlighting the cup at the centre of each flower. A stem may carry more than one small flower in suitable conditions, making it attractive at the front of a bed or in a balcony pot.

The Hedera pack contains 7 bulbs of the same Canaliculatus variety, imported from the Netherlands, rather than a colour mix. Its botanical name is Narcissus 'Canaliculatus', from the Tazetta group. Its flowers are described as pleasantly scented, although intensity may vary with conditions. A stem may carry up to seven small flowers in the best conditions, but this is not a guaranteed number per stem or bulb. The guaranteed pack quantity is 7 bulbs. Its relatively short stature suits pots and the front of beds.

How to plant

• Plant in autumn as the weather becomes milder and the soil cools, in a relatively warm, sunny position with light, well-drained soil.
• Set the pointed end upwards and cover with soil to a depth of roughly one to two times the bulb's height, depending on its size. Leave suitable space between bulbs.
• In a deep pot with drainage holes, bulbs can be placed close together for a seasonal display without touching. Water after planting, then as needed during growth, avoiding standing water.
• After flowering, remove faded flowers and leave the foliage to yellow and dry naturally. The bulbs may return in later seasons, without a guaranteed flower count.

What you receive: A pack of 7 ornamental Canaliculatus narcissus bulbs. The bulbs are harmful if eaten and may irritate skin; keep away from children and pets and do not confuse with edible bulbs. Wear gloves if your skin is sensitive.
