Beautiful flowering, for this first year. Enchanting... But a great disappointment, which I don't know whether to attribute to the wind or the rain, probably to the combination of both, the floral stems have bent and are on the ground. It seems to me that the water accumulated in the corolla and it becoming too heavy is responsible for this situation. Result: a very nice bouquet that holds up well and for a long time, but nothing left in the garden.. PS: yet sheltered by a hedge.

Description

Narcissus 'Heamoor' is a spring bulb bearing magnificent perfectly formed double flowers. They are golden yellow with a more orange centre. This beautiful plant blooms at the beginning of the daffodil season, in March-April, on relatively short, sturdy stems that can withstand bad weather. When planted en masse, the flowers explode like little suns in spring beds. It naturalises quite easily. Its rose-like flowers are spectacular in bouquets.

 

The 'Heamoor' double-flowered narcissus is a horticultural hybrid introduced in England in 1996. This excellent variety received an Award of Garden Merit from the Royal Horticultural Society in 2004. It belongs to the Amaryllidaceae family. More specifically, it belongs to division 4 of horticultural daffodils. The Narcissus genus includes about 50 species found mainly in the western Mediterranean, but also in Africa and Asia. 'Heamoor' is compact and sturdy. It produces a solid stem that is 35cm (14in) tall when in bloom. It is a spring-flowering plant, with a large yellow-green floral bud that opens into large round flowers measuring 9.5cm (4in) in diameter, facing outwards, composed of 3 rows of waxy-textured petals with prominent midribs, topped with a unique crown. This cup-shaped crown, or paracorolla, is a dark yellow with hints of orange, and is divided into numerous segments that form a whirl in the centre of the flower. Double-flowered narcissus have a long flowering period. The linear foliage is deciduous, disappearing in summer and reappearing in late winter.

 

There are so many daffodil cultivars that one can enjoy them for three months in spring without ever getting tired. They all have in common the ability to naturalise easily, to offer an infinite range of yellow and white shades, and to often emit sweet fragrances. Grow them in large clumps in lawns or at the edge of flower beds (at least 20 bulbs) for an enhanced effect. Pair 'Heamoor’ with blue squills, blue hyacinths, double tulips, forget-me-nots, pansies, or liverworts. A group of 'Heamoor’ daffodils in a vase creates a sensational effect. This daffodil is also perfect in pots.

 

Jonquil or Narcissus? Botanically speaking, jonquils are part of the narcissus family. They bear flowers grouped in twos or more, and their corona forms a bell-shaped trumpet that is longer than it is wide. There is also the botanical species that has retained the charm of wild plants and thrives in rockeries: N. bulbocodium, N. canaliculatus, N. juncifolius, N. pseudonarcissus are among the prettiest.

For bouquets, we advise against mixing daffodils with other flowers, such as tulips, as the stems of daffodils contain a substance that causes other flowers to wither quickly. This detrimental effect on other flower species can be reduced by dipping the ends of daffodil stems in hot water for 1 to 2 minutes.

Planting and care

Place the bulbs in full sun or partial shade. They are very easy to grow and can tolerate both the shade of a woodland and a sunny flower bed. They prefer moist but well-drained soil. Plant them in autumn, 15cm (6in) deep and spaced 10cm (4in) apart. Group them in minimum clusters of 5 bulbs, in uniform colours or mixed.

You can plant them in lawns. In this case, lift the turf, and dig and loosen the soil to a depth of at least 20cm (8in) (the length of a spade). Plant your bulbs, cover with soil, and replace the turf. Choose a spot where you won't mow, as the daffodil leaves must wither before cutting them. The bulb uses the leaves to rebuild itself and prepare the flowers for the following year. However, cut the flowers as soon as they fade to avoid seed formation, which would unnecessarily exhaust the bulb. 

Cut the leaves when they turn yellow and apply fertiliser at that time, not before. Maintain regular watering during growth and let the soil dry out once the foliage is mature.
