Jonquils (Narcissus)
Jonquils reliably pop up every August with a blast of perfume. They are the easiest to grow of all the garden bulbs, as can be seen in neglected gardens
where hardy survivors still bloom in late winter. Each flower has a little cup surrounded by six pointed petals. Jonquils come in white, cream and
bright yellow. Sandra’s favourite is ‘Paperwhite’ which has ivory petals and cups. Wait until foliage has died back before tidying up and feed with
bulb food as they die down.
