Narcissus 'Red Rocket'
Daffodil 'Red Rocket' (Large-cupped)
A harbinger of spring with many different types of these bright flowers, they come in dwarf varieties as well as the standard type and are easy to grow. They come in many shades of yellow and white, they all have outside petals and a cup in the middle often having the cup a different colour or shade to the petals. You can change the colour of daffodil by planting the bulb in a beetroot, this turns it pink, it does work, I tried it on a pale bulb and it became a pale shade of pink. They naturalise easily. 'Red Rocket' bears flowers with white petals that have a large, deep orange, almost red, cup. Flowers open early to mid season.
