Narcissus 'Xit'

Narcissus 'Xit' is a quietly exquisite daffodil, proving that smaller blooms can carry just as much presence as their showier counterparts. Rising to a neat 15cm, Narcissus 'Xit' produces elegantly poised flowers, each around 5cm across, with broad, smooth perianth segments in a pure, luminous white. These petals are gently reflexed, creating a soft, star-like form that feels both crisp and refined. At the centre sits a distinctive, disc-shaped corona, delicately ribbed and also white, but intriguingly washed with green at the base, lending the flower a fresh, almost porcelain-like quality. Set against grey-green foliage, Narcissus 'Xit' has a serene, composed beauty that suits both contemporary and traditional planting alike.

Flowering in mid-spring, Narcissus 'Xit' is ideal for the front of borders, gravel gardens, or naturalistic drifts where its understated colouring can be fully appreciated up close. Despite its modest stature, Narcissus 'Xit' holds its own, particularly when planted in generous groups or paired with soft blues and silvery companions. It also performs beautifully in containers, where its neat proportions and refined blooms can be admired at eye level. Reliable and effortlessly graceful, Narcissus 'Xit' brings a sense of calm sophistication to the spring garden, returning each year with quiet confidence and just a hint of the unexpected.
