About Narcissus 'Flor D'Luna'
Narcissus 'Flor D'Luna' is particularly notable for its reverse bicolour flowers.
Unlike the familiar combination of pale outer petals and a yellow or orange centre, 'Flor D'Luna' reverses the effect with rich lemon-yellow perianth segments surrounding a much paler cup.
The creamy white corona has an attractively flared and gently ruffled edge, standing out clearly against the yellow petals.
A subtle paler zone where the petals meet the cup further emphasises the contrast between the two colours.
The flowers are held individually on sturdy upright stems above narrow green foliage. At 30–40cm tall, the plants are easy to incorporate into borders as well as pots and other spring displays.
