A wonderful Hoop petticoat daffodil, Narcissus Ta Julia is really a seed group between Narcissus Tarlatan with Narcissus Julia Jane. This is one from the great Australian (Tasmanian to be specific) Rod Barwick of Glenbrook Bulb farm fame.

Rod Barwick is also responsible for Narcissus Bulbicodium ‘Spirot’ from the little detective series, and is a favourite in our garden and those of many others.

Hoop Petticoat daffodils (Narcissus bulbocodium) are miniature, early-spring flowering bulbs with unique, flared, funnel-shaped cups that resemble old-fashioned petticoats.
Small growing by daffodil standards, 15.24 cm to 25.4 cm (6–10 inches) tall with narrow, grass-like foliage and are a great choicet for rock gardens, pots, or naturalizing in sunny, well-drained spots.
You can find these great little Daffodils online, try Tonkin’s Bulbs or Hancocks Daffodils.
