Raised in Wales in the 1940’s this has the features of Narcissus cyclamineus. Nearly as small, it is early flowering but with the petals swept back in the typical Narcissus cyclamineus manner. However, Snipe has creamy white petals and the typical cylindrical corona beginning a creamy yellow fading to white. Rarely offered, it is great in short grass or under shrubs and trees.
