Specie Mixed, often admired for its green colouring, is a bulb variety especially well suited to naturalising.

Narcissus 'Specie Mixed' is a charming, botanical-style blend chosen for naturalistic planting—ideal for easy drifts through grass, beneath deciduous trees, or threaded through spring borders. With a naturally varied selection, each mix brings its own nuanced balance of forms and tones, offering a quietly extended display as different varieties come into flower across the season.

These are modest, graceful narcissus with a gentle, meadow-like character—particularly handsome when planted in generous numbers. They also lend themselves beautifully to pots and containers, where their finer scale can be appreciated up close.

  • Naturalising blend for relaxed, informal planting
  • Fully hardy and reassuringly straightforward to grow
  • Deer resistant and pollinator friendly
  • Flowering: March to May

Please note: as this is a true mix, the precise combination of colours and flower forms will vary from season to season.

Where to Plant:

Narcissus 'Specie Mixed' needs full-sun, partial sun and a warm, sheltered position for the best flowering. Plant into fertile, humus-rich soil that drains well, and choose a spot protected from strong winds, especially for taller varieties.

How to Plant:

Plant bulb from September to December once conditions are suitable. Set them at the correct depth for the variety, spacing 10cm apart where relevant, then firm in gently and water well after planting.

Aftercare:

Water regularly in dry weather and feed every two to three weeks once buds appear. Stake taller stems early and deadhead to keep plants flowering. After flowering, allow foliage to die back naturally before lifting or protecting bulb according to local conditions.

The bulbs arrived beautifully packaged and you could just tell they were excellent quality. We had the most wonderful display of daffodils this spring on our patio. Simply stunning. Will definitely be ordering again

I ordered the mixed hyacinth collection and the scent in my garden this April was absolutely heavenly. Every single bulb produced a strong, beautiful flower and the colours were stunning together. A fantastic purchase, I'll be back for more next year!
