Eco-friendly Scented Narcissi for Christmas, Mother's Day and Valentine's Day
(16/11/2008)

Scented Narcissi from the Isles of Scilly are winter-grown, scented British flowers with great eco-credentials. In bloom between October and March, these wonderful, unique flowers are hand-picked by family growers in small traditional fields.

They are multi-headed, 'star like' blooms with a beautiful natural scent, and they come in shades from pure white through peachy cream to intense yellows and orange.

Scented Narcissi are a very eco-friendly option as they are grown naturally outdoors in the open air so no heated glasshouses. Harvested by hand they travel just 28 miles to the mainland. They are also one of the few flowers grown commercially that have a fragrance.

The growers run their own direct delivery service and by purchasing these flowers, people are supporting this cottage industry and British flowers.
