Description

Narcissus Barrett Browning is a classic heirloom daffodil known for its striking contrast and refined form. It features broad, snow-white petals that perfectly offset a small, vivid orange-scarlet cup, creating a luminous and structured appearance. Flowering in mid-spring, it stands at 35–45 cm tall and brings both strength and elegance to cottage borders, wildflower-inspired meadows, and early spring planting schemes.

A great choice for naturalising, Barrett Browning multiplies steadily and returns reliably in sun or light shade, preferring moist but free-draining soil. Its classic open-centred bloom is pollinator-accessible, making it a valuable choice for supporting bees and beneficial insects in early spring, particularly in wilder areas or mixed bulb plantings and can be effectively massed in turf conversions, orchards, or public-facing spaces.

It pairs beautifully with blue companions like Muscari and Scilla, or with soft narcissi such as Thalia or Sailboat for layered pastel planting. Combine with Chionodoxa, or mixed Darwin tulips for dynamic planting layers.Ideal for Irish gardens seeking vibrant spring interest without sacrificing heritage charm.
