Rock Garden Plants A to Z:
BACK
Narcissus- (Dwarf Narcissus)
Narcissus Cyclamineus |
In a large rockery it is perfectly practical to grow any Narcissus
including the large-cupped ones which reach 1-1/2 ft. or more. In an
average-sized rock garden you should restrict yourself to the dwarfs which
grow 9 in. or less. Plant bulbs as soon as you can in autumn and then leave
them undisturbed for years. Do not remove the foliage after flowering until
it is completely brown.
VARIETIES:
Some of the dwarf ones are Narcissus species rather then names varieties,
flowering between March and April. Examples include
N.
bulbocodium (Hoop Petticoat) - 3 to 6 in. all-yellow, narrow petals,
N. cyclamineus
- 6 to 8 in. drooping flowers with swept-back petals and
N. triadrus
albus (Angel's Tear) - 4 in. drooping creamy flowers. Named dwarf varieties
include
N.
'Beryl' (8 in. creamy petals, orange cup).
N. 'Jack Snipe'
(8 in., creamy petals, yellow cup)
N. 'February
Gold' (8 in., yellow petals and cup) and
N.
Tete-a-Tete (8 in. yellow petals and
cup).
SITE
& SOIL:
Requires well-drained soil in sun or light shade.
PROPAGATION:
Lift overcrowded or 'blind' clumps in late summer. Divide and plant
individual bulbs.
