Heritage and Speciality Narcissi

Ivory, white, cream, buttermilk, clotted cream, pale yellow, primrose, paprika, lemon, peach, apricot and eau de nil; these are the colours we are just beginning to welcome again from our heritage and speciality narcissi collection, together with their wonderful, life enhancing scent.

Narcissi are wonderful Spring flowers running from early March to May during which time the role they play and who they play it with, in vase or arrangement, differs significantly as the cast around them changes.

Focal, counterpoint, supporting or just dancing through, they can be the centre of attraction or provide nuance, depth or sparkle. Spring would not be Spring without these charmers, their simple grace and natural elegance chiming perfectly with the freshness of the season.

We have been collecting the most beautiful narcissi for over 15 years and we now have 50 plus different varieties growing here at HP. We trial in small numbers first and if they make the cut, we then grow in larger quantities. Like @olgasflowerfarm, we are totally smitten. We send them out by post or you can collect if you are local - send an email to info@hortuspoeticus.com if we can make you narcissi happy this Spring.

We were planning to hold two Narcissi workshops this Spring when ours are in the full flood of their beauty, but a cold late Spring has made that hard to arrange. We may yet to do so at short notice so if you are interested please email us and we will be in touch.
