Description

Narcissus 'Snipe' is a tidy little number with no shortage of charm. A fine cyclamineus cultivar, it produces upward-facing blooms with delicately swept-back creamy-white petals—just enough curl to give it character, without being overly fussy. At the centre sits a long, elegant cup in soft creamy yellow, which gradually fades to an even paler tone as the flower matures, lending a subtle, shifting beauty over time. Lightly fragranced and wonderfully refined, Narcissus 'Snipe' has a knack for brightening early spring with quiet confidence.

Holding the RHS Award of Garden Merit, Narcissus 'Snipe' has been properly vetted for garden-worthiness—so you can count on it to perform reliably, year after year. It’s particularly well-suited to rockeries, containers, and naturalistic plantings, where its slender habit and graceful form can be appreciated up close. Like many cyclamineus types, it prefers well-drained soil and a sunny or lightly shaded position. Whether you're planting in drifts or dotting it among other early bulbs, Narcissus 'Snipe' brings a touch of poise to the scene—think of it as a quietly stylish guest who always knows when to arrive. Understated, elegant, and surprisingly resilient, Narcissus 'Snipe' is a proper spring gem.

60 seconds: Daffodils

Plant Narcissus bulbs at a depth of roughly three times the height of the bulb. Always ensure that the pointed end faces upwards towards the soil surface. In borders or grass, daffodil bulbs should be planted at a distance of roughly twice their width apart.
