Fragrant

Narcissus 'Geranium' is a beautifully mannered tazetta-type daffodil, valued for its neat clusters of white blooms, each one finished with a richly coloured orange-red cup.

Plant in autumn and allow it to settle; in return, you’ll enjoy a poised display that looks as at home in a formal pot as it does naturalised through an informal planting scheme.
