Description
The true ‘Angels Tears’ daffodil has become a scarce item in recent years as wholesalers and gardens centres used to import this by the million from the wild each year. This trade has rightly ceased, however raising it from seed is a long and slow process, hence the price will never be what it once was in garden centres, as it reflects a minimum of 5 years work.
In March and April the price paid fades into insignificance as you see the superb flowers, sometimes several to each short stem, with their pendulous, pale yellow trumpet and the reflexed segments of the same pale primrose yellow or white.
A beautiful plant happy in a well drained soil in light shade or even woodland edge conditions. Naturally small, flowering sized bulbs, the price is each, these are nursery-raised, five year old bulbs and not wild dug imports. The whole triandrus complex incidentally is the subject of a lot of reclassification and you might also wish to check Narcissus coronatus, pallidulus and iohannis on our site, to make sure you are buying the plant that you actually want.
