The Hoopoe narcissus belongs to the Tazzeta cultivar division. The main distinguishing feature of these flowers are small flowers gathered in charming umbels that count several blooms. This variety is no exception. The sunny yellow flowers that sit atop strong stems have rounded petals on which a broad and short, darker coloured corolla appendage spreads. These flowers excrete a pleasant, sweet scent. It is a nice add-on, particularly when you decide to put the flowers into a vase. The nice aroma will spread around the room and remind you of the cheerful flowers that stand in the water.

Daffodils, narcissi are planted in autumn in order to let them take root before the winter. They prefer sunny sites, but will fare well in partial shade, too. Plant the bulbs 8-10 cm deep and 15 cm apart. The soil for daffodil cultures should be loose, deeply cultivated and soft. A fertile, humous, moist, yet never waterlogged ground provides the best conditions for daffodils. Enriching the soil with organic fertilizers, such as compost, proves to be a good practice before the planting and after the first flower buds appear.

The Hoopoe daffodil brings excellent visual results when planted in single species groups and mixed with other flowers that bloom at the same time. You may combine it with various flowering perennials. The 30 cm high plant will look great in rock gardens. The brightly coloured flowers will contrast nicely with the background of conifer plants.
