Below is our palette of narcissus flowers which we’re selling for the autumn of this year. These will all be available as bulbs, ready to be planted ASAP. Later (in the spring), they will be only available in pots to guarantee that you get blooms that year.
Narcissus (along with alliums and fritillaria) are in the special group of spring flowering bulbs which are truly deer proof – they all produce compounds that are toxic to deer. Narcissi in particular produce isoquinoline alkaloids as a method to protect from getting munched – this is why daffodil pickers must wear gloves to avoid the major skin irritation that arises from contact with the sap.

One of the earliest paperwhites to bloom, Narcissus papyraceus ‘Ziva’ (Tazetta Daffodil) is a sweetly scented daffodil with large clusters of pure white blooms. Each bulb can produce 3-4 stems with typically 4-8 blooms per stem, all exuding a lovely spicy scent. Winter hardy in zones 8-11, where it will happily bloom for years, ‘Ziva’ is widely known as the all-time favorite for indoor forcing, and is the easiest of these to grow. The longer the bulbs are stored, the faster they will turn into blossoms. They might take a month to bloom when planted in November, but only 2 weeks if planted in January! 16-18”
