Description
Narcissus 'Shrike' brings a delightful touch of eccentricity to the spring garden, combining elegance with just the right dash of flamboyance. The pristine white outer petals are all calm composure, while the split corona bursts forth in salmon-pink to orange tones like a ruffled cravat at a garden soirée. It’s a daffodil that doesn’t shout but certainly makes itself noticed—charming with a touch of cheek. With Narcissus 'Shrike', there’s always something to admire, whether you’re up close inspecting every ruffle or enjoying the overall effect from across the lawn.
As if good looks weren’t enough, Narcissus 'Shrike' is also the proud holder of the RHS Award of Garden Merit—a proper stamp of approval that means it performs as well as it preens. This variety is perfect for adding a bit of flair to borders, containers, or naturalised areas where you want both character and class. Narcissus 'Shrike' blooms reliably, asking little in return beyond a sunny spot and well-drained soil. It’s a showstopper without the drama, a daffodil that turns heads with style rather than noise. In short, Narcissus 'Shrike' is the botanical equivalent of quiet confidence in fabulous shoes.
