Beguiling in pots or rockeries or naturalised in drifts through grassy areas and borders. Narcissus 'Rip Van Winkle' is a hardy bulbous perennial which will flower for years with no winter protection required when it is planted in the ground. However, bulbs in pots may require additional protection as they are not so well insulated.
