The title of ‘2010 Spring Flowering Bulb of the Year’ has been awarded to the bright and beautiful Narcissus ‘February Gold’, following much debate at the annual event hosted by the International Flower Bulb Centre. Beating off competition from other springtime favourites, this narcissus was voted for on the strength of its appearance, versatility and ease of growing by a judging board of gardening journalists and respected industry professionals. Overall it was agreed that the classic narcissus bloom was this year’s ‘must have’ bulb, to plant this autumn for flowering next spring.

‘February Gold’ is everything a narcissus should be’ commented Lucas Boreel, Area Manager for the International Flower Bulb Centre. ‘It’s vibrant, versatile, hardy and easy to grow. It is also good for perennializing, and will bring colour back to your garden year after year.’
