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.
'Berlin'
daffodil
Narcissus 'Berlin' arrives in the garden with all the confidence of a well-timed trumpet fanfare. Its wide, exuberantly ruffled cup glows in a bright orange, surrounded by sunny golden yellow petals that seem to radiate energy. This large-cupped daffodil doesn’t just bloom—it puts on a spectacle. Like its namesake city, Narcissus 'Berlin' is bold, full of character, and impossible to ignore when in full swing.
Whether you’re brightening up a spring border or adding a touch of drama to a container, Narcissus 'Berlin' delivers high-impact colour with minimal fuss. Plant it en masse for a dazzling effect, or let a few pop up as surprise highlights among more muted companions. Its vibrant cup and golden halo make it a standout in any setting, and it performs just as well as it looks. Hardy, dependable, and strikingly handsome, Narcissus 'Berlin' is ready to lead your springtime display with gusto—no introductions necessary.

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.
