Description

Narcissus / Pseudonarcissus lobularis

The wild daffodil or Lent Lily is the ancestor of most of the great and glorious daffodils and narcissi that we see in spring. It brings colour to swathes of woodland and grassland throughout England in the spring. This diminutive daffodil has delicate, paler outer petals that recurve very slightly while its trumpet is slimmer than most daffodils and slightly darker. The overall effect of a clump of these daffs is much more subtle and pretty than some of the more strident varieties.

Like most bulbs, Narcissus pseudonarcissus do not like sitting in really boggy conditions. 
They thrive in most soils with a bit of drainage and require virtually no maintenance. Simply avoid mowing them until their leaves have withered: about 6-8 weeks after the flowers fade.

Please note: these wild bulbs are significantly smaller than other, cultivated daffodils, so don't be surprised to see that a wild bulb is smaller than a "dwarf" daffodil variety. 
Also, wild bulbs won't all flower in their first spring: this is normal, and the bulbs that don't flower will have plenty of energy for their second year. 

What to do with a wild daffodil

Plant them where they can spread and monopolise an area: under trees, especially an orchard, along a river bank, or just the corner of a lawn where no one sits.

They look truly rustic in a vase, but don't mix them with other flowers because they tend to spoil them faster.
Before you put them into the vase, dip their cut stalks in warm water to remove and stop the goo that forms.
