A woodland plant from China, Japan and Korea Adonis amurensis (Amur adonis, pheasant's eye) flowers in the shelter of the cool glasshouse. The yellow flowers last for several weeks and the leaves emerge towards the end of flowering. By early summer, the plant will have died back and gone dormant.

The white flowered Narcissus poeticus var. recurvus (pheasant’s eye, old pheasant's eye, poet’s narcissus) provide a late display of daffodils. This bulbous perennial produces white petals surrounding a yellow, flattened cup fringed with red and a fragrance that is part of late spring. This plant is ideal for naturalising in long grass.
