    February Gold and Tete-a-tete are good for coming back for me in grass but can't say the same about Minnow....long gone after only a year or two.  Hawera I grow in a trough and it comes back but haven't been growing it that long so don't know how long that will go on for.  It is so small and delicate it is nice to have it raised up where I can see it. I have a few good doers in grass but I have unfortunately forgotten what they are; some are very old. 
    Based in Sussex, I garden to encourage as many birds to my garden as possible.

    If you like Thalia, Silver Chimes is also nice.
    I grow Cheerfulness, Bridal Crown, Tresamble,  and newer addition to my garden -Lieke. It's particularly nice. 
    All reliable if they have decent drainage. I do lose a few to wet soil now and again. 
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    The Pheasant Eye narcissi are  very reliable in my daffodil meadow. I have large clump of them at the edge as they are  always the last to flower.

    @Buttercupdays I love the scent of Pheasant Eye. One I have never grown before, it grows at Belton House along an avenue of trees beautiful. 
    I have worked as a Gardener for 24 years. My latest garden is a new build garden on heavy clay.

    @GardenerSuze I can still just  about smell them but my daughter enjoys walking through our meadow in the spring, she says it smells lovely.  It's not huge but the previous owners had planted loads of King Alfreds there, so I added some more refined ones and some whites and orange to make it more interesting. They multiply each year, you can barely see the grass now :)

    Tete a Tete is a great Narcissus flowering year on year. Are there any others you could recommend that are reliable for long flowering?


    Hello,
    1. Narcissus 'Tete-a-Tete': Known for consistent spring blooms.
    2. Narcissus 'Ice Follies': Classic yellow flowers that return reliably.
    3. Narcissus 'Thalia': Elegant, white daffodils that multiply.
    4. Narcissus 'Jetfire': Early-flowering, vibrant yellow and orange variety.
    5. Narcissus 'Pheasant's Eye': Fragrant white daffodils that come back.
    6. Narcissus 'Hawera': Miniature daffodils in pale yellow.
    7. Narcissus 'Dutch Master': Robust, golden-yellow flowers.
    8. Narcissus 'Mount Hood': Pristine white petals with a large cup.
    9. Narcissus 'Cassata': Creamy-white daffodils that naturalize.

    Proper care and occasional bulb division are key to their longevity.

    I had Bridal Crown for the first time last year and was amazed how long they were in flower. They are a tall variety,  at least in my garden, but the flowers lasted weeks after the other daffodils and narcissus.

    Jetfire - Feb gold are my go to I prefer the middle size daffs,  tahlia is beautiful but its not quite as reliable as the other two. Tahiti and sir Winston Churchill has been reliable in pots for me. Carlton as been good for planting in grass.
