Miniature Daffodils 'Minnow'

Overview

Miniature Daffodil 'Minnow': The Multi-Headed Meadow Delight

Bring a delicate, multi-toned charm to your garden with Narcissus 'Minnow', one of the most beloved miniature daffodils in the Tazetta group. This dainty award-winner is famous for producing multiple blooms on every stem—usually 2 to 5 flowers per stalk—creating a dense, bouquet-like effect. The blooms feature soft, creamy-white petals that provide a perfect backdrop for the tiny, lemon-yellow cup at the centre. Standing at a compact height, 'Minnow' is as resilient as it is beautiful, making it a "must-have" for rockeries, window boxes, and the edges of early spring borders.

Key Features

• Multi-Headed Blooms: Each bulb punches above its weight, sending up stems crowded with several miniature, fragrant flowers.
• Unique Colour Contrast: The transition from the pale ivory petals to the bright yellow corona adds a sophisticated, bi-colour depth to your display.
• Compact & Wind-Proof: Its short, sturdy stature ensures it stays upright during blustery March weather, unlike taller varieties.
• Fragrant & Pollinator Friendly: These little gems carry a light, sweet scent that acts as an early-season food source for bees and pollinators.

Gardener's Tip

Because 'Minnow' is so dainty, it can sometimes get "lost" in a large, busy border. To truly appreciate its intricate beauty, plant it in elevated containers or window boxes where the flowers are closer to eye level. For a naturalistic look, plant them in small, dense clusters of 10–15 bulbs tucked into the nooks of a rockery or at the base of a stone wall. They also look spectacular when used to "underplant" taller, dark-stemmed shrubs, as the creamy-white flowers glow against the dark wood.
