Plant daffodil bulbs from September to November. If needed, store them somewhere cool and dry, away from mice, but plant before they begin to deteriorate.

If you count yourself as a bit of a plant connoisseur, this Narcissus bulbocodium 'Spoirot' is definitely one for you. The dainty petticoat flowers of this marvellous variety are a real talking point. Although they’re small and subtle from afar, up close you’ll be able to see that the flowers are a delicate and perfect work of art. The pale primrose-yellow blooms are highly unusual in their form, with slender pointed reflexed petals which show off a teacup-like trumpet. Despite its delicate looks, it’s just as hardy and reliable as any other daffodil and will soldier without fuss whatever the weather, flowering during spring every year.
With natural and alpine looks, Narcissus bulbocodium 'Spoirot' looks its best in a gravel garden or rockery, but will do just as well in a border or container. To fully appreciate its miniature beauty, add it to an outdoor table centrepiece where the flowers can be seen up close.

Plant profile
Plant calendar
Choose full sun or partial shade. Improve heavy soil with organic matter and horticultural grit. For containers, use peat-free multipurpose compost with good drainage.
Plant bulbs pointed side upwards, two to three times their own height deep and around 10cm apart. Smaller bulbs can be planted slightly closer together.
Water after planting if the soil is dry. Established bulbs in borders rarely need more, but water during dry spring weather and keep containers lightly moist.
Remove faded flowers, but leave the stems and foliage until they turn yellow and die back naturally. The bulbs can remain planted throughout the year.
