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.
'Easter Born'
daffodil
There’s something undeniably poetic about a daffodil named Narcissus 'Easter Born'—as if it were destined to bloom at just the right moment, bringing a celebratory flourish to spring’s arrival. This exclusive double variety is a true study in elegance, offering lavishly layered, creamy white petals that seem to swirl gently around a centre of shorter pale yellow corona segments. The overall effect of Narcissus 'Easter Born's flowers is somewhere between a formal ruffle and a soft whipped dessert—luxurious, but not the least bit over the top.
Narcissus 'Easter Born' is the sort of flower that looks equally at home in a woodland edge as it does in a smart container near the back door. It’s well-behaved, returns reliably each year, and offers that kind of slow-burn beauty—never demanding attention, but always earning it. Whether it’s catching low spring light or nodding politely in the breeze, Narcissus 'Easter Born' has a way of making your garden look just that little bit more refined. Plant Narcissus 'Easter Born' where you’ll see it often—you’ll thank yourself later. Or perhaps it will thank you. Either way, it’s a win for all involved.

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.
