Miniature Daffodil Xit

Miniature Jonquil Xit is a robust choice that flowers mid to late season. The bulbs multiply well and in the right conditions will soon form a handsome clump. The fabulous blooms have reflexed petals and the wide, open cup has a touch of cream at the base.
Miniature Jonquil Xit is a hybrid of the species Narcissus watieri. The mid green leaves are short and narrow, allowing the blooms to shine. This attribute means they are good in lawn plantings.
Petite blooms that are small in size but big on impact. They are perfect for small gardens, pots or the front of beds. Miniature Daffodils that replicate their bigger cousins in everything but size and are just superb. Tough, hardy and easy to grow these daffodils always attract attention. Each bulb produces more than one flower.
Miniature Daffodils are easy! They like plenty of sun and a well drained soil.

It is a good idea to prepare your soil before planting by digging through some well rotted manure or compost a few weeks prior to planting. This will improve drainage and add nutrients to the soil, giving your Miniature Daffodils a good start.

Plant Miniature Daffodil bulbs three times as deep as the bulb is high with the pointy end up. The depth will protect them from heat and soil erosion. Space 10-20cm apart, more if you are leaving the bulbs in to naturalise.
Once the flowering has finished you can remove the flower stem. Allow the foliage of your Miniature Daffodils to remain until it has yellowed. This fading foliage gathers energy and nutrients at this time for next years blooms. Keep relatively moist during this time and add a little general purpose fertiliser. Daffodils like Potash and slow release brands which are low in nitrogen (this encourages more flowers, not foliage).
