Description
Waterperry jonquils are an absolute delight. They’re perfect for those who love detail, because they combine ivory outer petals with a shell-pink cup that’s a slightly darker shade of pink at its ruffled edge. The barely discernible, softly sweet scent of these blooms is as delicate as the colour combination. Tasteful in its subtlety, the blooms of Narcissus 'Waterperry' are nonetheless sure to draw the eye. That’s what true elegance means, after all.
It’s hard to believe that these delicate-looking plants are incredibly tough, but they are. They’ll happily settle in for a permanent stay in almost any well-drained soil and they won’t need constant pampering to give you their best.
