Narcissus Minnow (8)

Narcissus Minnow is multi-headed, with many small primrose yellow flowers held flat only just above the top of the foliage, the small cup rather darker when they first open. It needs more sunny conditions and to be grown in better drained soils, but is one that I wouldn’t be without

RHS Award of Garden Merit.

Narcissus Minnow has been awarded the RHS Award of Garden Merit because it has proved to be reliable in appropriate conditions and a good performing plant. 

Planting Instructions

Narcissus Minnow is a daffodil for a sheltered sunny spot in a well drained soil. The bulbs should be planted bulb quite deeply, with 5" (12cm) soil above it to keep it cool and moist and safe from activity above it during the summer. They should be planted in distinct groups and not randomly as the effect is generally better. Do not be tempted to cut back or tidy the foliage after flowering as 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.
