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.
Narcissus 'Snow Baby' may be small in stature, but it has a wonderfully bright presence in the spring garden. Just 15-25cm tall, Narcissus 'Snow Baby' produces neat, solitary flowers in soft white to creamy tones, each finished with a petite, sunny yellow cup that gives the bloom a fresh, cheerful look. There is also a light fragrance to enjoy, which feels like an unexpected little luxury from such a compact plant. Flowering in March and April, Narcissus 'Snow Baby' arrives early enough to lift the garden when winter still feels a little too close for comfort.
Because of its miniature habit, Narcissus 'Snow Baby' is particularly effective in pots, rockeries and along the front of borders, where its delicate detailing can be admired properly rather than lost in the crowd. Narcissus 'Snow Baby' is hardy, reliable and perennial, returning each year with very little fuss and steadily forming a charming spring display. It also works beautifully in groups, where the pale flowers and yellow cups create a gentle, sparkling effect that feels natural rather than showy. For smaller spaces especially, Narcissus 'Snow Baby' proves that you do not need towering stems or oversized blooms to make a lasting impression. Sometimes the quietest plants are the ones that win the most admiration.

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.
