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.
'Eclat'
daffodil
Narcissus 'Eclat' is a daffodil with flair—a floral statement piece for those who appreciate contrast, character, and just a touch of drama. Its ivory-white petals are crisp and clean, like a freshly ironed shirt on a spring morning, but the real show begins at the centre. Here, a generously sized corona glows with an ombré effect: a rich orange-red rim gradually softens into warm yellow-orange, like a sunrise captured in ruffled form. Narcissus 'Eclat' doesn’t just bloom—it performs.
This large-cupped daffodil is both refined and exuberant, happily blurring the line between classic elegance and bold garden colour. Narcissus 'Eclat' slips neatly into cottage borders, naturalistic drifts or formal beds, but isn’t shy about stealing the show while it’s there. Plant it en masse for full theatrical effect or let it play a starring role in your spring pots. Either way, Narcissus 'Eclat' makes its mark not through sheer volume, but with style, poise and that glorious citrus-toned centre that practically glows against its pristine backdrop.

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.
