Narcissus Sentinel

Narcissus Sentinel is a variety composed of pure white tepals and a wide, spreading crown which is pink with apricot undertones. The flower appears almost double, as the spreading cup is nearly as wide as the petals. Ideal for planting in flower beds or containers. 

Daffodils are the most resistant bulbs planted in autumn. They tolerate both full sun and partial shade. They prefer well-drained soil but also thrive in heavy soil.

In vases: we advise against mixing daffodils with other flowers, tulips in particular, as the stems of daffodils contain a substance that quickly wilts other flowers. This detrimental effect on other flower types can be mitigated by soaking the ends of the daffodil stems in hot water for 1 to 2 minutes.

Daffodils come back every year. Unlike other perennial plants, it is unnecessary to feed before flowering. Only cut the leaves when they have turned yellow and provide fertiliser at this time, as this is when the bulb regenerates and prepares the flowers for the following year.
