About Narcissus 'Llanfair'

Narcissus 'Llanfair' is particularly interesting because the colouring of its flowers changes as they mature.

Freshly opened blooms have greenish-yellow tones before gradually becoming a softer greenish white to cream. A greenish-yellow ring remains visible around the base of the corona, providing subtle contrast between the outer petals and central trumpet.

The most striking feature is the exceptionally long, cylindrical trumpet. Its delicate pink to peach-pink colouring and gently frilled rim stand out beautifully against the much paler perianth.

The flowers face upwards and outwards, displaying the unusual centre clearly rather than hiding it beneath the bloom.

'Llanfair' belongs to the Trumpet group of daffodils. These varieties produce one flower per stem, with a corona or trumpet as long as, or longer than, the surrounding perianth segments.

Benefits for UK Wildlife

Spring-flowering Narcissus can contribute to a varied wildlife-friendly garden.

• Flowers may be visited by spring pollinating insects
• Adds floral diversity to early-season planting
• Combines well with other pollinator-friendly spring bulbs

Plant alongside crocuses, muscari, primroses and other spring flowers to create a longer succession of blooms.

Where to Grow Narcissus 'Llanfair'

• Spring garden borders
• Naturalised planting
• Cottage gardens
• Patio pots and containers
• Mixed bulb displays
• Under deciduous trees and shrubs

Trumpet daffodils are particularly good for naturalising. In suitable conditions, established groups can gradually increase and provide larger displays each spring.

Planting Tips

• Plant bulbs in autumn.
• Choose a sunny or partially shaded position.
• Plant approximately 10–15cm deep.
• Space bulbs around 10cm apart.
• For naturalising, plant in informal groups or drifts.

After flowering, remove faded blooms but allow the foliage to yellow and die back naturally. This gives the leaves time to replenish the bulbs ready for the following year's flowers.
