Jim, I asked as I had to remove most of the Narcissus bulbocodium ssp praecox (;o) as they were coming up all over the place, obviously here they thrive and would have naturalised happily. The soil here tends towards being acid (beautiful blue Hydrangeas for example) so that sounds about right for the lovely white ones you have. In fact I have ordered some here in NZ and am waiting for them to arrive. Ina In a still wet and soggy Auckland. NZ On 10/01/2012 8:55 a.m., James L.
