Narcissus poeticus var. recurvus

Commonly known as the poet's narcissi or pheasant's eye, Narcissus poeticus var. recurvus is a late-flowering daffodil with white, swept-back petals that curve at the edges and surround a yellow, flattened cup fringed with red.

Easy to grow, it's perfect for naturalising and growing in long grass, where the intense fragrance that emanates from the flowers will waft on the breeze. A bunch of the cut flowers will easily scent a room indoors.

For best results, grow Narcissus poeticus var. recurvus in full sun or partial shade in moist, well-drained soil. The flowers can be deadheaded, but don't cut the foliage back until it's yellow and withered.
