This is the first year that my white daffs haven’t shown up so I am planning to replace them. When I planted them I imagined them doubling up every year and I thought they would make me happy year after year. Unfortunately this hasn’t happened. A couple of beautiful white , triple headed daffodils but no doubling up and this year nothing. The joys of gardening.

A Triandrous type of daffodil Thalia has been a favourite of mine for years. Narcissus Thalia has highly fragrant pure white blooms appearing from March to April. Great for naturalising and perfectly happy in a container. Pollinators love them. Once open they become pure white and can grow to 40cm tall. Thalia prefers a spot which benefits from well drained soil. A hardy, bulbous perennial which should form a spreading clump. So I was assured when I researched them.

Triandrus Daffodils have more than one blossom per stem. The blossoms droop slightly and the petals are slightly swept back. They are smaller than English Daffodils and are highly scented. Thalia is one of this group but on doing a bit of research I have found a few in the same category and may include some of them in my purchase.
