Description

Narcissus Rapture is a high-impact, early-spring daffodil beloved for its architectural elegance and pronounced reflexed form. Each bloom presents rich golden-yellow petals that curl sharply backward from a slim, fluted trumpet, evoking motion and sculptural tension. Reaching 25–30 cm in height, it provides excellent formality and dynamism in low-lying schemes. This cultivar is ideal for designers looking to inject early-season vertical lift into municipal planters, green roof edge strips, low-maintenance urban rockeries, or stylised gravel gardens.

Rapture is reliably perennial and thrives in sunny or lightly dappled spots with free-draining, gritty soil. It’s particularly valuable in raised beds, minimalist planting trays, courtyard roof gardens, and sloped public plantings where water runoff encourages root health. Its very early flowering window, often from February, positions it as a keystone cultivar in pollinator-supportive schemes, offering nectar and structure when few other bulbs have emerged. Especially useful in hospital beds, educational gardens, or urban renewal verges where early visual signals and biodiversity enrichment intersect.

Combines exceptionally well with Iris reticulata, Galanthus elwesii, and early Muscari. Use in civic alpine displays, entrance troughs, and hard-surfaced courtyard installations.
