Product description
Canaliculatus is a division 8, Tazetta Daffodil with vibrant white petals which often extend slightly backwards, with contrasting golden yellow coronas. Between 3-5 blooms form on each multi-headed stem. The delicate white petals surround the golden yellow cup of this miniature plant, reaching heights of 15cm.
The heirloom Canaliculatus is great for planting at the front of beds or in pots and containers. During full bloom, Canaliculatus flowers make wonderful, fragranced flower arrangements or bouquets.
Narcissi refer to the plant species that while similar to Daffodils are both smaller in height and the size of the bloom, specifically the cup or corona. These characteristics do not diminish from the beauty of Narcissi, which are generally very colourful, showy and fragrant. Many of the Narcissi are the earliest bloomers of winter and early spring season and typically have a dazzling assortment of lemony yellows, golden oranges and stunning whites.
The divisions of the Narcissi usually autumn into the categories of doubles, multi-headed and Jonquilla, all of these being smaller than their similar Daffodil relatives. Where the Narcissi really stand out, in addition to their delicate beauty is their tendency to be quite fragrant
Narcissi are bulbous herbaceous perennials which require moist, but well-drained soils in full sun to partial shade. Most varieties of Narcissi prefer sheltered locations away from strong winds, while some varieties are stouter and can tolerate more exposed locations. Although plant-specific variations do exist, most varieties of Narcissi prefer pH neutral soils, with some preferring slightly more acidic or alkaline soils in order to produce the best blooms. Due to the possibility of bulb rot, Narcissi require soils that are well-drained
Plant Narcissi bulbs with the root cluster downwards, usually identified by a rougher area and the tip or point of the bulb upwards. In general, Narcissi are planted to the depth of 1.5 to 2 times the size of the bulb, usually in the range of 15-20cm, ensuring that none of the bulb is exposed. In very cold areas, Narcissi may require winter mulching to protect them from frost.

Top Tip
When the foliage starts to yellow and die back at the end of the season, resist the urge to prune it. Allowing the plant to die back naturally enhances its energy levels, resulting in a wonderful display of flowers the following year.
How to Water
Water thoroughly when planting. After this, narcissus planted in the ground should only need to be watered during dry spells. Bulbs grown in pots and containers will need watering more regularly to prevent the soil from drying out.
How to Plant
Plant narcissus bulbs from September to November in full sun or partial shade with moderately fertile, moist but well-draining soil. Dig holes around 5-10cm apart and plant one bulb in each hole at a depth 3 times the height of the bulb. Ensure the pointed end faces upwards then backfill with soil and compost, firm down, and water in well.
