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.
'Angkor'
daffodil
Narcissus 'Angkor' is not one to shy away from a bit of drama. With double blooms that rival the grandeur of a peony, this exclusive daffodil puts on a springtime spectacle worthy of a standing ovation. The outer petals are a soft ivory yellow, elegant and composed, while the inner segments—borrowed from what would’ve been the cup—twist and twirl in deeper golden tones, like silk ribbons caught in a breeze. Narcissus 'Angkor' has a flair for layering, and it uses it to striking effect.
Perfect for gardeners who prefer their flowers with a bit of theatre, Narcissus 'Angkor' holds its own in borders, containers, or spring bouquets—though it's best appreciated up close, where the interplay of texture and tone really comes alive. It’s not just a flower; it’s a performance in slow motion, with each petal revealing itself like a well-timed plot twist. And because Narcissus 'Angkor' is so beautifully balanced—neither too loud nor too subtle—it slots neatly into classic or contemporary garden schemes. Plant it once and you’ll be applauding its return every spring. Narcissus 'Angkor' isn’t just a daffodil, it’s a head-turner with layers of charm and a standing invitation to centre stage.

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.
