Positive	Jamie_Anderson	On Mar 24, 2006, Jamie_Anderson from Wellington () wrote: Great little grower. I have always had a group in a pot an they have done very well. I have lifted and divided once (back into same pot, and they seemed to like that. The foliage on these can get long, and consequently flop over and look silly, so, what I do is trim all the leaves to a length where they don't flop. This doesn't seem to harm them, but be careful you don't trim off the buds as well! Other colours exist (which I've only just found out). Other colours include creams and whites. They grow well here in New Zealand, in Auckland at least, and I would say in most if not all other areas.

'Baby Moon' and lilacs. We have them interplanted with gold edged hostas. Very nice and interesting addition to the spring garden.
Neutral	poppysue	On Oct 31, 2001, poppysue from Westbrook, ME (Zone 5a) wrote: This narcissus is known for it's funnel shaped trumpets and insignificant petals. It's a small variety and suitable for the rock garden. 'Julia Jane' is a pale yellow selection.
