Narcissus Topolino

Narcissus Topolino – One of our favourite narcissus varieties.

At just under 20cm tall Narcissus Topolino has a creamy white perianth and a lemon trumpet. It is similar in appearance to the indigenous pseudonarcissi but the bulbs are larger meaning better results.

Narcissus Topolino is a perfect miniature daffodil for a natural looking garden but are also ideal for containers and borders.

Planting Narcissus bulbs

Plant narcissus bulbs in autumn, at one-and-a-half times their own depth, slightly deeper in light soils or grass. Narcissus bulbs prefer well-drained soil that is moist in the growing season in spring, in full sun or light dappled shade.

Narcissus are relatively low maintenance and will come back year-on-year. 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.
