The Narcissus bulbocodium 'White Petticoat' is a small but unusual and rather robust daffodil. This variety with large white flowers is a beautiful improvement of a native botanical species in the Atlantic-European region. It has pure white flowers composed of a swollen central corolla, shaped like a petticoat, emerging from a discreet crown of 6 very thin sepals. The yellow stamens shine in the centre. This bulbous plant blooms more or less early depending on the climate, usually in March-April. To succeed in its cultivation, give it sun and well-drained, light, rather sandy soil, moist to dry in summer. This crinoline daffodil also allows for flowering pots in the heart of winter. A charming duo with the yellow variety Golden Bells!
The Narcissus bulbocodium, also known as the crinoline daffodil or medusa's trumpet, belongs to the amaryllidaceae family. It is a common species in the western Mediterranean, from Morocco to Spain, and to the south of France. It is widespread, particularly in Languedoc-Roussillon and Gironde, often on poor soils. The Narcissus bulbocodium 'White Petticoat' is a horticultural creation dating back to 2017. It is the largest form with pure white flowers from N. bulbocodium conspicuus. It is resistant to cold and drought, and prolific. This variety reaches between 10 and 15 cm (4 and 6in) tall in bloom. Its flowers are composed of a corolla of modest, very thin petals, on which a very flared and very swollen corolla is inserted, almost completely eclipsing the small crown of petals. It is an early flowering plant, capable of blooming from the second half of February when well established, or even in autumn in favorable climates. The very fine foliage, which can be mistaken for tender grass, is deciduous in summer. In mild climates, it develops with the first rains in September and persists in winter. This variety easily multiplies through spontaneous sowing and production of bulblets, from an ovoid bulb the size of a hazelnut.Â
The Narcissus bulbocudium 'White Petticoat' grows in well-drained and loosened, light soil, results are less good in soils that are too wet in summer. There is such a choice of varieties among daffodils that you can enjoy them for three months, in spring, without getting bored for a single moment. They have in common the ability to naturalise easily, to adore white and yellow and white, and to often emit sweet fragrances. Many reasons to grow them in large clumps (at least 20 bulbs) for a multiplied effect. Associate the crinoline daffodil, in natural-looking flower beds, with scillas and hyacinths, accompany them with early botanical tulips, botanical crocuses, but also forget-me-nots, pansies, or liverworts. In pots, this daffodil is also perfect

Botanical data
The Narcissus bulbocodium 'White Petticoat' grows well in well-drained and loosened soil, moist during the growing period but rather dry in summer. It also prefers limestone soils. The further south you go, the less difficult it will be regarding the nature of the soil. Plant the bulbs from September to mid-December, 8 cm (3in) deep, with a spacing of 8 cm (3in), in a sunny location. Do not disturb them, and each year your daffodils will produce more and more flowers. It is not recommended to water them in summer, even in a dry and hot climate. The daffodils remain in the ground. Remove faded flowers to promote the accumulation of new reserves in the bulb. After flowering, let the foliage die naturally and only cut it when it turns yellow. If the clumps become too dense, they flower less well, so they can be divided from July to September when the leaves are dry. You can replant the bulbs (undamaged) immediately.
Cultivation in pots:
Bulbs grown in pots can be repotted in late summer. Take the opportunity to check the condition of the bulbs, which should not show any signs of rot. Plant them in a mixture rich in gravel and drainage. Use a potassium-rich fertiliser, specifically for bulbs, which you will dilute in the watering can (strongly dilute the dose prescribed by the manufacturer). Water during the vegetative period but stop watering in summer.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
