Why We Love It

Narcissus canaliculatus is a delightful botanical narcissus variety, known for its clusters of petite, starry blooms. Each flower combines pure white petals with a vivid yellow trumpet, creating a fresh and uplifting display.

Flowering later in spring, these miniature daffodils are perfect for weaving through borders, tucking into containers, or planting en masse for a naturalised meadow look. Their modest height makes them particularly well-suited to pots and window boxes, where they add a touch of spring brightness without overwhelming other planting.

Pair them with muscari or early tulips for a layered spring scheme, or let them shine on their own as a cheerful seasonal highlight.
