- Narcissus Yellow Sailboat is a small flowering daffodil perennial loved by pollinating insects, in particular bees and butterflies. These Spring flowers have a later flowering cycle and can grow up to 45 cm in height. They produce up to three lemon yellow blooms per stem during March and April, coming back better each year. Yellow Sailboat daffodils have interesting reflexed petals and when planted en masse they create a carpet of colour.
- These bulbs are great for growing in flower beds, garden borders or in patio pots. They are also ideal for growing in woodland gardens or rock gardens in particular around the base of deciduous trees or shrubs. They do particularly well when planted with other Spring flowering bulbs such as grape hyacinth and crocus. Narcissus can also be used as cut flowers allowing you to enjoy them in your home and garden.
- If you are not ready to plant bulbs now, then store them in a cool, dry, frost free, well ventilated location. A garage, shed, loft or cupboard are ideal. Open the paper bag to allow air to circulate round but leave the bulbs in their bags until ready to plant. Just make sure mice or other rodents can’t get access to them. Keep an eye on your bulbs while in storage, if they are showing signs of going soft, it's best to get them planted before they deteriorate any further.

Best Growing Conditions Plant these narcissus bulbs during Autumn to Winter in fertile, well draining soil in full sun or in partial shade approximately 10 cm apart and at a depth, three to four times the size of the bulb. After planting, water well. Adding mulch, wood chips and organic matter to the planting area will increase soil drainage. After flowering, allow the foliage to die down completely. They are UK hardy and will continue to grow each year with little maintenance.
