Description

Narcissus Starlight Sensation is a refined and elegant daffodil cultivar that delivers a luminous, star-like bloom with cool white petals and a neatly flared lemon-yellow cup. Slightly reflexed outer segments give each flower a dynamic, starburst profile, while the petite trumpet provides a restrained centrepiece that’s perfect for softening spring borders or adding visual clarity to mixed plantings. Flowering in mid- to late spring, it stands at a modest 30–40 cm and excels in both formal and naturalistic planting contexts.

This cultivar thrives in moderately fertile, well-drained soils and favours full sun to partial shade. It is especially well-suited to courtyard gardens, public memorial beds, housing association planters, and under-planting schemes around ornamental trees or shrubs. Its tidy stature and cool colouration make it a great foil to more vibrant spring species and ideal for use in educational gardens, reflective urban planting spaces, or biodiversity corridors where gentler palettes are required.

Starlight Sensation provides nectar to early hoverflies and smaller solitary bees and works beautifully when interplanted with Narcissus Thalia, Hyacinth White Pearl, or the soft blue tones of Scilla or Pushkinia. A top choice for modern public schemes needing subtle design detail and strong ecological credentials without overpowering displays.
