Description

A daffodil fit for a Queen has to be special, and Narcissus 'Queen’s Day' fulfils its royal role admirably. Its large and sunny blooms are a joyous sight to behold in early spring. Beautiful star shaped outer petals in golden yellow surround a frilly nest of double petaloids in a slightly warmer shade of yellowy-orange. Originally created to honour the Dutch Queen for her national holiday, this celebratory daffodil has stood the test of time, proving popular with gardeners for many years.  

Narcissus 'Queen’s Day' is perfect for creating a sunny atmosphere to chase away the winter gloom as spring tentatively begins. This early season double daffodil with large blooms and strong stems creates the best show when planted in big groups of at least 30. Great for naturalising in grass, wonderful in a woodland garden, perfect in pots….this versatile royal will create a classy display in so many contexts. Choose a sunny spot or lightly dappled shade to fully enjoy those golden tones of Narcissus 'Queen’s Day', and plant in well-draining soil. This bloom also makes an excellent cut flower, just remember as with all double varieties, it’s best to cut when the flower is fully open to enjoy it at its best.
