The Narcissus ‘Sailboat’ bulb is a lovely addition to your flower garden. When this large bulb (12+ cm) blooms in April, each bulb produces multiple stems which in turn each display multiple blooms. The white petals look like a sail flowing in the wind. At the center is a pale yellow funnel cup. The cup changes to a pale ivory the older the bloom becomes. In the pictures, you can see that this daffodil looks great with Muscari (grape hyacinth).
Planting
Plant the bulbs about 2–3 times the size of the bulb (so if the bulb is 1 inch long, plant it 2–3 inches deep). If you are farther north and get very cold during the winter, you may want to plant it about 4–6 inches deep. Space the holes about 3–6 inches apart, and for a more natural looking display, consider planting 2–3 bulbs in each hole.
