Plant daffodil bulbs from September to November. If needed, store them somewhere cool and dry, away from mice, but plant before they begin to deteriorate.
It’s no surprise that this sweet-scented stunner has won multiple awards. Narcissus 'Bridal Crown', a double daffodil, carries clusters of long-lasting small double flowers at the end of its stems. Each of these frilly small blooms is a beauty in its own right, its creamy white petals accented with small cup segments of deep yellow. Like the epitome of a Bridal Crown, this Daffodil’s softly romantic and fresh colouring bring to mind thoughts and dreams of love and peace. Narcissus Bridal Crownd is widely used for on pots in the professional cut flower industry.
It makes a wonderful cut flower, but like all double daffodils, flowers should not be cut before they are fully open.

Plant profile
Plant calendar
Choose full sun or partial shade. Improve heavy soil with organic matter and horticultural grit. For containers, use peat-free multipurpose compost with good drainage.
Plant bulbs pointed side upwards, two to three times their own height deep and around 10cm apart. Smaller bulbs can be planted slightly closer together.
Water after planting if the soil is dry. Established bulbs in borders rarely need more, but water during dry spring weather and keep containers lightly moist.
Remove faded flowers, but leave the stems and foliage until they turn yellow and die back naturally. The bulbs can remain planted throughout the year.
