'Greenstart'
N. bulbocodium
'Oxford Gold' in the lawn. These were planted last year, we'll see if they persist.
'W.P. Milner'. A recent acquisition, I can't think why I never planted it before, it's a beatuiful little daff.
N. moschatus
. I love this one but it is getting congested - I opened the clump up a little last year but some more vigorous splitting is needed methinks.

The triandrus hybrids are coming now. This is 'Petrel' which is one of my favourites.
'Jetfire' is still going strong and has made some large clumps down the bottom of the garden. This area is rather wet but it seems to do better here, perhaps the Narcissus fly don't like wet soil?
This
N. bulbocodium
is a survivor from when this area was a rockery. It seems quite happy here, so I have left it.
Lastly here are a couple of nice daffs that have appeared, and I suppose must be spontaneous cyclamineus x moschatus crosses, as I don't recall planting them there.

Would that we could get N. triandrus cultivars, N. moschatus and 'W.P.Milner' naturalising here! I wonder if the fact they are in grass is the answer to your success?

The triandrus hybrids don't seem to increase massively, but nor do they go backwards. Probably if I fed them a bit they might bulk up a bit more, but I quite like the more slender, wild appearance you get when cultivars are grown unfertilized. I have had 'Petrel', 'Pipit', 'Thalia' and 'Rippling Waters' for years (still can't tell the difference between the last two but they are both lovely).
We'll see about W.P. Milner but it seems to be more or less straight pseudonarcissus so I'm fairly hopeful. I'm opening up a woodsy area of the garden and planting it up with suitable plants.
N. moschatus I find easy in leafy thin grass (actually more leaf than grass) at the base of a goat willow. I'd have thought it would suit your conditions Maggi? Again it doesn't increase much vegetatively though. I reckon it's been there 15 years and I have maybe 3x as many bulbs as when I planted them. More like a snowdrop than a daff!
