Narcissus Silver Chimes
A tazzetta x triandrus hybrid, a derivative of Narcissus Grand Monarque with an unusual waxy appearance to the nodding, highly scented creamy white blooms. Initially a daffodil grown for the cut flower trade but suitable for garden growing where it is not too cold or shaded. It likes reasonably well-drained soils, and tends to flower quite late. These do not fit into the other groupings, but are nevertheless perfect for garden use. Late flowering (April), hugely scented flowers in pale cream shades 12" (30cm) tall
Planting instructions
These need a warmer and sunnier spot than many daffodils. Plant them 5” (12cm) deep and 4" (10cm) apart in fairly well drained conditions. Do not be tempted to cut back or tidy the foliage after flowering – this period of replenishment of the bulb's starchy food reserves is critical to future flowering. A liquid feed while starchy leaves are still green will benefit clumps in poorer soil. I would suggest you plant them in distinct groups and not randomly – the effect is generally better. They should clump up from being planted about 4" (10cm) apart, further apart for more 'relaxed' planting.
