The Narcissus bulbocodium 'Oxford Gold' (Hoop Petticoat) is loved for its unique shape. The 'Oxford Gold' is a little bit larger flower than the heirloom 'Hoop Petticoat' and a little more durable for the colder zones.
Blooms: The bloom looks like an antebellum hoop petticoat. The cup is large and bell shaped and often faces down with the top of the bloom narrowing into what would be compared to the waist of an antebellum dress. The petals are narrow and pointed radiating from the base of the bloom. The Narcissus bulbocodium is a native of the Mediterranean, where it was found in gritty soils. It is a favorite bulb amongst rock garden societies because if its delicate form, beautiful flowers, and ability to grow in the rocky soils. This flower only gets about 4-8" tall so it is perfect for the front of your garden or in pots.
Plant: Plant the bulb like most daffodils in 6+ hours of winter sun, well-drained soil, avoid standing water, and avoiding too much competition. Plant the bulbs about 2-3 times the size of the bulb (so if the bulb is 1 inch long, plant it 2-3 inches deep). If you are farther north and get very cold during the winter, you may want to plant it about 4-6 inches deep. Space the holes about 3-6 inches apart, and for a more natural looking display, consider planting 2-3 bulbs in each hole.
Landscaping Tip: Narcissus bloom at different times so as one daffodil is ending its bloom time another is just beginning. We like to say that "there is a bulb that blooms every week of the year in warmer climates." Your garden can have consistent flowers that you can enjoy inside or outside for months and carry you all the way from February through April.
Fragrance: This Narcissus has a light, sweet fragrance. This fragrance can add an extra dimension of beauty to the flower and make it more attractive to pollinators like bees and butterflies.
