Narcissus triandrus
Narcissus triandrus, the Angel's Tears daffodil, is a small bulbous perennial from France, Spain and Portugal, with nodding white or pale yellow flowers in spring. It is a low maintenance species that does best in sun or part shade with moist, well drained soil and deep planting.
Narcissus triandrus, also known as the Angel's Tears daffodil, is a species of flowering plant within the family Amaryllidaceae.
The popular cultivar 'Hawera', belonging to the Triandrus group, has received the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
While not a very popular species of the daffodil, these plants have similar care and blooming needs. They are low maintenance plants that require full sun, or part shade, medium water (meaning that the soil should be watered until damp, then left to dry and once dry, watered lightly again). The species is tolerant of rabbits, deer, and drought. This aversion towards disease and pests is known to be from the plant's high alkaloid and lycorine content.
Flowering in late spring, April through May, it is best that these plants are planted above summer blooming buds, yet below early spring bloomers. It is suggested that these plants be potted or placed in soft, well drained ground in late fall. If planted deep enough (two to three times deeper than the bulbs original length) then it should retain its moisture and last through the winter. And, while these flowers do like shady areas, it is better for them to be placed in full sun or in an area that gets sun throughout most of the day, this is because of the flowers of like to point towards and be in the sun's light as much as possible.
Native to France, Spain and Portugal, where it grows in woodlands, scrubland and exposed mountain habitats in acidic soils.
