Hello, My experience with alpestris/moschatus is the same. They came up the first year, bloomed and the foilage started showing streaking. The next year a few leaves came up all distorted and discolored, and nothing the next. So is the cultivated stock difficult because the virus, or is the species difficult? Most Narcissus species that I have grown seem fairly easy.
