Narcissus
'Orange Comet'
daffodil
Delightfully petite yet full of character, Narcissus 'Orange Comet' brings a lively spark to the early spring garden. This cyclamineus-type daffodil is instantly recognisable by its swept-back ivory petals, which curve gracefully away from the centre as though caught mid-motion. At their base, a subtle golden glow adds warmth, drawing the eye towards the slender, flared corona. In Narcissus 'Orange Comet', this central cup opens in rich yellow before deepening to a vivid orange rim, creating a striking contrast that feels both fresh and energetic. Planted along borders, tucked into rockeries, or arranged in containers, Narcissus 'Orange Comet' offers a refined yet playful presence.
Reaching a neat 25cm in height, Narcissus 'Orange Comet' is perfectly suited to smaller spaces where its intricate form can be fully appreciated. Flowering in March to April, it arrives just as the garden begins to awaken, its reflexed blooms lending movement and lightness to early displays. The distinctive silhouette of Narcissus 'Orange Comet' pairs beautifully with other spring bulbs, particularly in naturalistic plantings where its comet-like form appears to dance above the foliage. Compact, reliable, and quietly radiant, Narcissus 'Orange Comet' is a charming addition for those who favour detail and seasonal nuance.

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.
