Taylor Bulbs Narcissus 'Lemon Beauty' (5)

An elegant "butterfly" daffodil, Narcissus 'Lemon Beauty' pairs broad, pure white outer petals with a distinctive split corona — flattened out and streaked through the centre of each section with a bright lemon-yellow, creating a striking star-shaped burst of colour at the heart of each bloom.

Reaching around 45cm, Lemon Beauty is a clump-forming, upward-facing variety that makes a real statement in the border, container, or as part of a cut flower display. It's a strong, reliable performer that naturalises well over time, bringing an unusual, sophisticated twist to the traditional daffodil.

Plant bulbs in autumn, at one-and-a-half to two times the depth of the bulb, in moderately fertile, well-drained soil that stays reliably moist through the growing season, in full sun or partial shade. As with all narcissi, bulbs and sap can be harmful if eaten and may irritate skin, so gloves are recommended when handling.

Each bulb is hand-selected before dispatch.
