Description
Narcissus Sunlight Sensation is a vigorous, high-performing hybrid with exceptional bloom quality and multi-headed flower stems that dazzle in golden shades. Each stem produces 3–4 well-formed, star-shaped flowers featuring rich yellow petals and deeper golden cups — creating a vibrant tonal harmony that stands out in large-scale plantings and municipal borders. Flowering in mid- to late spring at 40–50 cm tall, it has strong weather resistance and excellent staying power in Ireland’s unpredictable spring climate.
Best planted in full sun and fertile, well-drained soil, Sunlight Sensation is a go-to cultivar for civic road verges, school frontage beds, commercial entrance landscaping, and structured hospital gardens where longevity and reliability are critical. Its brightness and clustering habit deliver mass effect with fewer bulbs, making it cost-effective for estate-scale planting or landscape contractor installations. The open flowers support short-tongued bees, hoverflies, and other beneficial early pollinators, particularly when paired with spring companion plants.
Combine with blue Camassia, Tulip ‘Golden Oxford’, or the deep hues of Fritillaria meleagris for biodiverse, structured spring drifts. Suitable for both contemporary and traditional planting schemes where visual saturation and ecological intent are valued.
