Narcissus White Lady
An historical cut flower, famous in the 1890s, now sadly rather more rare. White with a small yellow cup, sweetly scented, a step-sister to Seagull. These early daffodils have particular interest for us. They have a quaintness and informality that is largely lost in modern daffodil breeding, yet they have stood the test of time having been at their peak of popularity in Victorian times. Many more remain to be rediscovered and loved again. Flowering in April, 18” (45cm) high.
Planting instructions
Plant 4-6” (10-15cm) deep, 4" (10cm) apart in a spot with good light and moist conditions in spring, shaded and drier in summer. 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.
