About Narcissus 'Alexis Beauty'
Narcissus 'Alexis Beauty' produces elegant flowers with a particularly attractive combination of warm spring colours.
The outer petals are a clear yellow, surrounding a contrasting pale pink central cup.
Towards the rim, the cup develops warmer peachy-orange tones, creating a subtle colour gradient that gives the flowers extra depth.
The blooms are held on upright stems above narrow, strap-shaped green foliage.
At 35–45cm tall, 'Alexis Beauty' is large enough to make an impact in mixed borders while remaining compact enough for patio pots and containers.
