Narcissus
'Electrus'
daffodil
Narcissus 'Electrus' offers something a little out of the ordinary, with its upward-facing blooms and beautifully sculptural form. The bright white perianth is broad, its segments neatly overlapping to create a crisp, luminous backdrop. At the centre, the split corona forms a richly textured display in warm salmon-pink, its ribbed structure adding depth and movement to each flower. A subtle greenish eye at the heart provides a fresh, unexpected note, giving Narcissus 'Electrus' a distinctive, almost artistic character. Altogether, Narcissus 'Electrus' feels both intricate and composed, an elegant twist on the familiar daffodil form.
Flowering in mid to late spring, Narcissus 'Electrus' brings gentle complexity to borders, where its unusual colouring and split-cup form invite closer inspection. It pairs particularly well with soft whites, dusky pinks and fresh greens, allowing its nuanced tones to shine without competition. Narcissus 'Electrus' is equally effective in containers, where its upward-facing flowers can be appreciated at eye level. With its reliable nature and quietly striking presence, Narcissus 'Electrus' is ideal for gardeners seeking something a touch different, subtle, sophisticated, and just a little unexpected.

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.
