Description
An award-winning old favourite, it’s easy to see why Narcissus 'Eaton Song' has stood the test of time. This miniature daffodil has enduring appeal thanks to its combination of melodious spring colours and its tried-and-tested reliability. Pretty soft yellow petals that fade to cream are swept back endearingly on these little blooms, which sport a short, egg-yolk yellow trumpet with a ruffled lighter yellow rim. You’ll want to examine these delightful details up close on this sweet daffodil, which sings a song full of spring promise and optimism!
Recipient of a prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit from the Royal Horticultural Society, Narcissus 'Eaton Song' flowers reliably from mid-spring onwards. Standing at around 30cm high, with usually two or more pretty 6cm wide blooms per stem, its small proportions are perfect for pots. It has a reputation for naturalising well too, making this little daffodil well-suited to larger displays under deciduous shrubs and trees, where, if massed together, Narcissus 'Eaton Song' will create a charming scene that is likely to repeat year-on-year in good growing conditions. Just give it a site with good, free-draining soil in sun or dappled shade.
