Narcissus
'Saint Clair'
double pheasant's eye
Narcissus 'Saint Clair' is a romantic double daffodil with the refined poise of the beloved pheasant’s eye narcissus, only with a little more ruffle in its collar. Inspired by the graceful Narcissus recurvus, it carries crisp white outer petals around a softly layered centre, where creamy white segments mingle with warm hints of yellow and orange. The result is delicate, painterly and just formal enough to feel special, without looking as though it has tried too hard. Narcissus 'Saint Clair' has that late-spring freshness which seems to tidy up the garden simply by flowering.
Plant Narcissus 'Saint Clair' in generous drifts through borders, meadow-style schemes or beneath deciduous shrubs, where its pale flowers can glow against emerging green foliage. It is also lovely in a cutting patch, bringing a graceful, lightly nostalgic mood to spring arrangements. Like many daffodils, Narcissus 'Saint Clair' is pleasingly easy to grow in well-drained soil, thriving in sun or light shade and returning reliably when left to settle undisturbed. Elegant, scented in spirit and beautifully composed, Narcissus 'Saint Clair' is a charming choice for gardeners who enjoy classic narcissi with an extra flourish.

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.
