Narcissus
'Hawaiian Skies'
daffodil
Narcissus 'Hawaiian Skies' is a daffodil with real presence, the sort that stops you mid-path and makes you look twice. Each white flower is beautifully composed, with a shallow, bowl-shaped corona in rich yellow, finished by a crisp, red band that ripples around the rim. Behind it, the broad, nicely overlapping white petals are gently illuminated by a warm yellow glow at the base, giving Narcissus 'Hawaiian Skies' an almost sunlit quality even on a grey spring morning. There is a freshness to the colouring that feels both refined and cheerful, making it especially effective in borders where pale tones need a little lift.
Elegant though it is, Narcissus 'Hawaiian Skies' is no shrinking violet. This is a variety with enough substance to hold its own in containers, spring displays and cutting gardens, where its generous flowers can be admired up close. Planted in drifts, Narcissus 'Hawaiian Skies' brings a polished look to the season, while smaller groupings let its unusual corona colouring take centre stage. Pair Narcissus 'Hawaiian Skies' with tulips in plum, cream or soft apricot for a wonderfully painterly effect. However you use it, Narcissus 'Hawaiian Skies' has that rare knack of being striking without ever seeming showy—confident, luminous and thoroughly unforgettable.

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.
