Why We Love It

Narcissus ‘Minnow’ is one of the most endearing of the miniature narcissus varieties, producing multiple blooms on each stem for a profusion of soft colour. The creamy outer petals and warm yellow centres create a gentle, pastel effect that pairs beautifully with other spring bulbs.

Its modest size makes it a versatile choice, thriving equally well in pots, rock gardens, or scattered through grassy areas for a naturalised look. Flowering later in spring, these dainty narcissi are perfect for extending seasonal displays and blending harmoniously with muscari, crocus, or early tulips.

Compact yet abundant, ‘Minnow’ adds a fresh, uplifting touch to small gardens and container plantings, without overwhelming other planting schemes.
