A bright yellow Iberian species with a flared trumpet and widely spaced perianth segments, very floriferous and suitable for most purposes. Allow them to go wild in an area where they might increase and multiply gently, slightly drier than N. lobularis prefers. Some could equally well go into your borders, where they would need little attention. All yellow flowers in March, 5” (12cm) tall.
Planting instructions
Plant in small groups of 3 or 4 only 2” (5cm) apart, about 3" (8cm) deep in good soil, or light grass and then again at varied intervals. This produces handsome clusters from which they can spread with irregular spacing. Do not mow or fertilise the grass till they have gone quite dormant in July, this period of replenishment of the bulb's starchy food reserves is critical to future flowering. Over the years they will bulk up, and possibly set seed. Flowering is always haphazard and staggered – after all it is in the plant’s interests to spread the risk of not producing seed. But they look totally natural and look after themselves.
