Description
Narcissus Angel’s Breath is a beautifully compact, early-blooming miniature narcissus that lives up to its delicate name. With soft yellow outer petals and a small, pale lemon cup, each stem produces two to three lightly fragrant flowers, forming graceful clusters that light up rockeries, troughs, and spring containers. Flowering from early March, it brings a gentle and uplifting energy to the garden just as winter fades.
Ideal for urban gardens, alpine displays, or front-of-border planting, Angel’s Breath thrives in sun or light dappled shade and prefers freely draining soils, especially in containers or raised beds. Its tidy form and manageable height (15–20 cm) make it a favourite among those seeking low-maintenance spring colour with natural charm. It’s also well suited for meadow underplanting, as its early flowering period complements species like snowdrops and crocus, extending the forage window for early pollinators.
Despite its small size, this cultivar punches above its weight in biodiversity value, providing nectar when few other flowers are open. It works beautifully in combination with Iris reticulata, Scilla mischtschenkoana, or Anemone blanda, especially in compact garden spaces. Ideal for pots, school gardens, wildlife planting, and small-scale landscaping where early colour and delicate form are prized.
