Introduced around 1948. Selected by A.M. Wilson from seedlings of N. ‘W.P. Milner’ x N. cyclamineus Two times Award of Merit, in 1953 and 1959. Not to be confused with Narcissus ‘Jack Snipe’. This pretty cyclamineus has elegant, turned backwards, creamy white flowerpetals and a soft yellow and in later stage nearly white little 'trumpet'.. Height is 10-15 cm. Flowering in March - April.
