Description
Narcissus Julia Jane is a delicate and refined miniature daffodil, offering exquisite beauty and exceptional value for early spring displays. Its pale creamy-yellow petals and soft, shallow cup emerge as early as January in sheltered spots, making it one of the first daffodils to flower in the Irish climate.
Topping out at just 10–15 cm, Julia Jane is perfect for alpine beds, rockeries, troughs, raised containers, and green roofs. Its finely textured, grass-like foliage and small stature make it a favourite among collectors and ecological designers alike. It performs best in gritty, sharply-drained soils in full sun and needs little maintenance once established.
Its open, shallow-cupped flowers are highly attractive to tiny overwintering bees and flies, providing accessible pollen and nectar when few other blooms are active. This makes it a strong contributor to early-season pollinator corridors, especially in wildlife gardens or regenerative planting plans.
Pair with Iris reticulata, Crocus sieberi, or dwarf Allium to extend flowering windows and maximise biodiversity impact.
