Jim, vittatum has a white ground with red stripes. It is Peruvian, not Brazilian and very uncommon in cultivation although someone recently showed on in flower at this same forum. If you sprinkle with systemic insecticide granules, there is no reason why you will have sucking insects. A useful tips from commercial narcisus hybridizers is to grow plants that are very attractive to aphids like cereals, (barley is the plant commonly used) and treat these with systemic insecticides on a regular basis. This way aphids never reach your valuable plants. And if you fertilize these, they become irresistible to them.
