NARCISSUS 'DOLL BABY' HIGHLY FRAGRANT & MULTI-HEADED

Last year I bought several varieties of narcissus bulbs for my garden borders and containers.  The idea is that they will multiply and I plan to have them among the herbacious perennials which flower in summer.  That's the plan!  Anyway, this one is a little cutie with multiple-heads to each stalk and a fragrance which is powerful.  The flowers are small but impressive with creamy white petals and an apricot corona (the bit in the middle that sticks out).

The label says that the planting time is September to
December with flowering April to May the following year.  The height is
30cm (12in or 1ft).  Plant the bulbs pointed end upwards and grow in moist but well draining soil or compost in sun
or partial shade.
