Narcissus Pipit

Narcissus Pipit – soft lemon yellow, the crown and base of the Pipit perianth turns pure white after a few days. Narcissus Pipit is another fine example of the Jonquilla group. It has multiple heads and is scented.

This versatile Jonquilla Daffodil naturalises well and will perform wherever it’s planted, in pots, borders or through grass, but it is a particularly popular choice for growing in shady or wooded environments.

Planting Narcissus bulbs

Plant Narcissus bulbs in autumn, at one-and-a-half times their own depth, slightly deeper in light soils or grass and around 10cm arpart. Daffodil bulbs prefer free draining soil that is moist in the growing season in spring. Narcissus Pipit will stand around 20-30cm tall

Narcissus Pipit are low maintenance and will come back year-on-year, they naturalise well. They benefit from being deadheaded as the flowers fade, and allow the leaves to die down naturally so that the bulbs have nutrients to come back the following year.

You can propagate Narcissus bulbs by division when clumps have formed. Gently lift and separate bulbs, to replant as the leaves fade in early summer, or in early autumn before new roots are produced.
