Bulbs

Narcissus 'Bellabombe'

Bellabombe Daffodil

Narcissus 'Bellabombe' produces full spring blooms with creamy yellow outer petals surrounding a richly layered center of yellow-apricot to soft peach peach tones that deepen as the flowers mature. Smooth, blue-green foliage rises in upright clumps, giving the plant a fresh, orderly appearance through the bloom period. The overall habit is sturdy and generous, with each stem supporting a rounded flower that adds depth and warmth to early seasonal plantings.

Design tip

The early flowers arrive when the garden is still waking up, so give it a spot you pass often in spring. Drift them in uneven groups for a natural look, and interplant with perennials that fill the gap after the leaves die back.
