I’m dreaming of a green Christmas

Scented Narcissi are winter-growing British flowers, from the beautiful Isles of Scilly, in bloom from October through to March. Grown outdoors in the open air and shipped just 28 miles to the mainland, these gorgeous, fragrant flowers are an eco-friendly option. They are also one of the few flowers grown commercially with a natural scent.

The growers run an online direct delivery service, at scentednarcissi.co.uk, and the flowers arrive in a stylish midnight blue, biodegradable presentation box. There are a variety of blooms to choose from, such as the Paperwhites with a soft, floral jasmine scent and the vibrant yellow Sol d'Or, with hints of cinnamon and vanilla.
