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.
'Emerald Green'
daffodil
Narcissus 'Emerald Green' is one of those quietly captivating daffodils that reveals its charm in layers. At first glance, the pristine white outer petals appear almost porcelain-like, gently framing a soft, shallow cup in cream to the palest yellow. But it is the green at the heart that truly defines Narcissus 'Emerald Green', lending the bloom a fresh, luminous quality that feels both refined and slightly unconventional. Held aloft on sturdy stems, each flower stands with poise above elegant, lance-shaped foliage, creating a composed and graceful presence in spring borders.
What makes Narcissus 'Emerald Green' especially appealing is its ability to harmonise with almost any planting scheme, from cool-toned blues to soft pastels and classic whites. Whether planted in thoughtful drifts or tucked among emerging perennials, Narcissus 'Emerald Green' brings a subtle sophistication that never feels overstated. As the light shifts, the green eye seems to glow from within, adding depth and intrigue to each bloom. Reliable and easy to grow, Narcissus 'Emerald Green' returns each year with quiet confidence, rewarding the gardener with a display that feels both timeless and just a little bit special.

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.
