Narcissus pseodonarcissus

Dear Jane,
there are fine colonies in the sunny meadows of Narcissus pseudonarcissus as well as wild snowdrops here.
I grow both in sun as well as in a more shaded area under hazel trees.
I might just be lucky!
So far.

Narcissus and Galanthus (snowdrops) planted in woodland or other
shady areas are less likely to be attacked by bulb fly. I don't know
whether this is because the insect prefers warm situations, or
because the coloration of the fading foliage, which is said to
attract it, looks different to an insect's eye in sun.
