Description

Narcissus Pre Party is a striking, high-contrast mid-season daffodil that brings fresh energy and structural clarity to spring schemes. Its refined white petals form a luminous backdrop to a richly frilled golden-yellow cup, creating a bright, celebratory bloom with crisp two-tone definition. Flowering at 35–45 cm, this cultivar combines a neat habit with vibrant visibility, making it especially effective in formal municipal beds, business park entrances, and public-facing verges that require colour clarity and low-maintenance visual appeal.

Designed for seasonal punctuation, Pre Party offers reliable flowering across mid-spring and maintains form even in exposed coastal or roadside settings. Its open trumpet structure invites short-tongued bees, hoverflies, and early bumblebee workers, providing modest biodiversity support where nectar-rich species are limited. While not notably scented, it earns its place in civic planting through structural consistency and strong colour value.

This variety thrives in full sun or light dappled shade and requires free-draining, moderately fertile soils, although it adapts well to heavier Irish ground with the addition of compost or coarse grit. Ideal for civic resurfacing projects, council-maintained schemes, and public housing developments, Pre Party is suitable for machine planting in wide verges, roundabouts, or public greens, and returns reliably when naturalised into lightly managed turf or meadow-style mixes.

For seasonal layering, combine it with Muscari armeniacum, Tulip Golden Oxford, or Anemone coronaria The Bride for a lively sequence of yellow, white, and blue in structured perennial mixes or civic bulb carpets. Its dependable form, cheerful contrast, and broad design utility make it a staple for Irish spring planning schemes that balance aesthetics with ecological responsibility.
