Narcissus
'Winter Waltz'
daffodil
Narcissus 'Winter Waltz' is one of those daffodils that seems to arrive with a certain poise, lifting the garden just as winter begins to loosen its grip. Compact and clump-forming, Narcissus 'Winter Waltz' reaches around 30cm, making it an excellent choice for the front of a border, where its upward-facing flowers can be properly admired. Each bloom is lightly scented, with slightly swept-back white petals framing a long apricot-orange cup that softens in tone as the flower matures. Flowering from February to March, Narcissus 'Winter Waltz' brings a fresh, painterly quality to early spring displays, and its neat strap-shaped foliage keeps everything looking tidy rather than unruly. With an RHS Award of Garden Merit to its name, it is as dependable as it is elegant.
There is a lovely sense of movement about Narcissus 'Winter Waltz', as though each flower has been caught mid-turn. Planted in generous drifts, Narcissus 'Winter Waltz' creates a refined, luminous effect, but it is equally effective in pots and containers, where the subtle fragrance can be appreciated at close quarters. The warm apricot cup pairs beautifully with white, cream and soft blue spring companions, and the flowers hold themselves well through changeable weather. For smaller gardens, terraces or carefully composed spring arrangements, Narcissus 'Winter Waltz' offers colour, grace and a touch of quiet drama without ever shouting for attention. It is a variety that earns its place with ease, returning each year with the same composed charm.

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.
