Narcissus Great Leap 25Kg

Narcissus Great Leap is an unusual double daffodil bulb. The pattern of the petals and corona repeat in declining size as they get closer to the centre. Often double daffodils will produce a mass of petals but the symmetry of this flower is breathtaking. A pale yellow perianth and a deeper yellow split corona. Growing to 50cm tall in late March in to April, Narcissus Great Leap is a mid season flowering daffodil. Protect it from the winds, as the head is a little heavier on double forms of daffodil.

These narcissus are grown in Lincolnshire near to our warehouse. We’re very lucky to see the fields of yellow and white in March and April. Many of these flowers end up as cut flowers for super markets. The bulbs are left in the ground and lifted after 2 years. They are cleaned and then graded to give us a size 12/14 bulb. At this size you will get 450 bulbs to a 25Kg net.

Plant 10cm deep in autumn. Daffodil bulbs are happy in any types of soils and they can be planted in either semi shade or full sun plus, no extra care once they have been planted. Narcissus naturalise by bulb separation or by seed. If you don’t want them to spread remove the flower heads but let the leaves die back on their own.
