In the garden

Narcissus 'Double Itzim' is a double-flowered Narcissus cultivar in the Amaryllidaceae that forms neat clumps and produces its blooms from February to April. The foliage is deciduous and the plant performs as a spring-flowering bulb, making a concentrated seasonal display before the leaves die back. Plant where it will receive full sun or partial shade in loam or sandy soils that drain freely; this cultivar tolerates acid, neutral or alkaline soils. Choose a south-, east- or west-facing spot with some shelter from prevailing winds to prevent damage to the flowering stems. The hardiness rating H6 indicates the bulbs are very hardy and suit outdoor planting across much of the UK. Use Narcissus 'Double Itzim' in mixed borders to provide early-season height, naturalised in grass or open beds for repeat clumps, or in containers for patios and steps where you can appreciate the double blooms at close range. After flowering, allow the foliage to yellow and wither naturally so the bulbs can replenish their stores for another season of dense, double flowers.
