Narcissus comes in many forms. Estimated data show about 40 species and even more varieties (this is the result of several hundred years of breeders' work).Narcissus flowers vary in shape, size, and color.
The most varieties are in shades of yellow, but there are also those with cream and white flowers.In allergy sufferers, contact with narcissus juice may cause skin irritation.Bulbs of these ornamental plants are sometimes damaged by voles.
Perfect for planting in the fall:Narcissus development
Narcissus leaves develop simultaneously with the flower stem and often continue to grow after flowering. The leaves are narrow and resemble blades of grass. Depending on the species and variety, narcissi grow up to 10 to 60 centimeters tall.
Trumpet narcissi produce only one flower from one shoot, while the varieties from the tazetta group - several (flowers in this group are small, also give off a very pleasant smell).Flowering period of narcissus starts in March and lasts until May.
Narcissus - position
Narcissus do best in sunny to semi-shaded positions, in a fertile, humus substrate, maintaining a slight humidity.
Narcissus care
Large-flowered forms, such as trumpet narcissus, are planted from September to October. Wild forms can be planted a month earlier. We plant the bulbs to a depth twice their diameter. Feeding is carried out during the flowering period - once a year or once every two years - depending on the fertility of the substrate.Remove the leaves only when they wither.
Narcissus - application
Narcissus are an irreplaceable decoration of a spring garden. They can be grown both in a bed and in a pot.
Tip
Cut daffodils emit sticky juice in a vase that clogs the pores of other plants, causing them to wilt.
