'Hunter Dawn'

N. jonquilla × N. viridiflorus

Narcissus 'Hunter Dawn' opens the spring season with a particularly graceful sort of freshness, flowering very early, often around March, when the garden is still finding its nerve. The flowers often begin with a soft green tint before maturing to elegant pale yellow, while the corona shifts from subtle apricot to a clearer, brighter yellow. Registered in 2024 by VOF J.S. Pennings De Bilt, this charming new hybrid is bred from Narcissus jonquilla and Narcissus viridiflorus, a parentage that gives Narcissus 'Hunter Dawn' both its powerful fragrance and its beautifully refined colouring. Each stem usually carries three to four blooms, making the display feel generous without becoming showy.

As Narcissus 'Hunter Dawn' develops, its delicate tones create a luminous effect in pots, borders and naturalised drifts, especially alongside early muscari, small fritillaries or fresh spring foliage. The scent is a real pleasure, strong enough to notice as you pass, which is precisely the sort of gardening reward one hopes for after winter. Plant Narcissus 'Hunter Dawn' in well-drained soil in sun or light shade, where it can settle and return with increasing charm each year. With Narcissus 'Hunter Dawn', the mood is understated, fragrant and quietly distinctive: a modern narcissus with old-fashioned manners and a very promising future.
