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.
'Dutch Mountain'
daffodil
Narcissus 'Dutch Mountain' is a crossing between the classic daffodils 'Dutch Master' (yellow) and 'Mount Hood' (champagne-white). This hybrid combines the best of both parent varieties, resulting in a daffodil with soft champagne-white petals and a striking yellow rim on its corona, offering a fresh and unique twist on traditional daffodil colours.
Despite what the name might suggest, you won’t need hiking boots to enjoy Narcissus 'Dutch Mountain'. This exclusive large-cupped daffodil brings its own summit of style to the spring garden, with elegant champagne-white petals and a matching funnel-shaped corona that’s so well blended, it’s practically seamless. But just as you start to admire its refined monochrome poise, a golden yellow rim appears like the sun peeking over a mountaintop—bright, unexpected, and entirely delightful. Narcissus 'Dutch Mountain' isn’t your average daff; it’s a floral high point.
Whether planted in formal beds or more relaxed naturalistic schemes, Narcissus 'Dutch Mountain' adds a refined lift to the spring display. Its harmonious colour palette is calm and sophisticated, but that yellow edging gives it a bit of flair—as though it just couldn’t help but accessorise. And it’s not just a one-season wonder. Like any mountain worth climbing, it returns year after year, proud and dependable. Low maintenance and high impact, Narcissus 'Dutch Mountain' is perfect for gardeners who like their daffs to have both polish and personality. With a name like that, it’s clearly here to make a peak impression.

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.
