Description
While some narcissi are classic variations on a theme that features bright, warm yellows, some have the soft elegance to set them apart from their sisters. Narcissus 'Night Cap' will make you sit up and take notice! The central cup of each bloom seems to glow with soft cream, and it’s edged with a frill of coral. By contrast, the outer petals are pristine white, throwing the colours of the cup into relief.
Enjoy this low-maintenance garden beauty to the full by giving it a spot all to itself. Yes, Narcissus 'Night Cap' could compete with other flowers, but this artsy colour combination is best appreciated on its own.

About the grower
At a young age, Hein Huijg bought 10 kilos of tulip bulbs for 850 Dutch guilders from his savings. After one year, he was able to triple the yield and he kept 20 kilos of his harvest. Hein invested his profit in other tulip bulbs. This was the start of the bulb company 'Huijg Breezand' in Breezand, The Netherlands. Around the end of the eighties, John and Raymond Huijg (see photo) became partners. The company has grown to over 45 hectares of flower bulbs nowadays!
