In flower on the balcony in early April. The colour of the flowers changes depending on exposure: the more it is in the shade, the more they become marbled with white. Very fragrant.

Description

Narcissus 'Galactic Star' is a beautiful novelty with lemon-yellow and cream-white flowers. This trumpet daffodil is a floriferous and fragrant variety.

Daffodil bulbs are the most resilient when planted in autumn. They tolerate both full sun and partial shade. They prefer well-drained soil but also thrive in heavy soil. Daffodils come back every year.

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

Planting and care

Daffodils bloom from March to May and come back every year. Very easy to grow, they thrive in the shade of woodland and in a sunny flower bed. Plant them 10cm (4in) deep and spaced 10cm (4in) apart. Group them in batches of at least 5 bulbs, in patches of uniform colour or mixed.

You can plant them in lawns. In this case, lift the turf, 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, remember to cut the flowers as soon as they fade to avoid seed formation. This would unnecessarily exhaust the bulb.
