Narcissus 'Oxford Gold®' Narcissus Oxford Gold® Narcissus Oxford Gold® Narcissus Oxford Gold® AGM

Narcissus Bulbocodium 'Oxford Gold' is a true delight for early spring, known for its bright, sunshine-yellow blooms and its charming hoop-petticoat shape — a nod to the flared, frilly skirt-like form of its trumpet. It’s an uplifting sight just when the garden needs a cheerful boost after winter’s gloom.

This reliable little performer produces masses of golden flowers on slender green stems, and its sweet, light fragrance makes it even more irresistible. Flowering in early spring, ‘Oxford Gold’ is ideal for rockeries, pots, alpine beds, and naturalising in grassy areas where it can shine in numbers.

Awarded the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit, it’s praised for its strong growth, excellent flowering habit, and overall garden performance — thriving best in well-drained soil with plenty of sun or light dappled shade.

Plant in generous groups to enjoy a carpet of golden colour, or tuck into containers where its unique form and scent can be admired up close. Whether you're new to bulbs or a seasoned spring planter, Narcissus 'Oxford Gold' is a joyful addition that earns its place in any display.

How to plant Narcissus

  • Find a location with well-drained soil. Narcissus will not thrive in water-logged areas.
  • Narcissus like to receive full sun for most of the day.

Planting Narcissus in the Garden

  • If planting in the garden, plant the bulbs with their pointed tops 10-15cm (4-6") below the soil surface with smaller bulbs placed more shallowly than larger ones.
  • Space the bulbs 7-10cm (3-4") apart. Allow 4 to 5 bulbs per square foot.

Planting Narcissus in Pots

  • If planting in pots, find a large container and fill it with good-quality, well-drained soil. Ensure there is adequate draining holes.
  • Plant in the Autumn, September through November.
  • Plant the bulbs with their pointed tops 10-15cm (4-6")
  • After planting, water the Narcissus well, gently soaking the soil to settle it around the bulbs.
  • Narcissus will flower early Spring.

How to care for Narcissus

  • After flowering has finished for the season leave the foliage in place; don't cut it off. The leaves will gather sunlight, create food through photosynthesis and strengthen the bulbs for the future.
  • Water as needed during active growth periods.
  • By mid summer the leaves may yellow and die back. Foliage may be removed at this point.
