White daffodils collection

With this collection, give your garden the natural elegance of these narcissus, dressed in white! From April to May, they will illuminate borders, flower beds, rockeries, and planters with a myriad of white flowers with a sweet fragrance. Once planted, these excellent varieties will bloom year after year and naturalise over time in favourable conditions.

The collection of 25 white narcissus consists of:

- 10x White Butterfly Narcissus: an old variety of narcissus with white orchid-like flowers. Its flower, about 8.5cm (3in) in diameter, with a crimped texture, has a white-cream corolla and a cut-out crown, tinted with lemon yellow. Over time, this flower becomes whiter. It is also an easy-to-grow and hardy plant, which establishes itself quietly in the garden. Height 45cm (18in).

- 5x Piper's End Narcissus: a beautiful newcomer with small, very white flowers, whose cup opens into a slightly cream-coloured frizzled trumpet, but enhanced by a deep green heart. It has retained the sweet and enticing fragrance of poetic narcissus, which we love so much in spring bouquets. Height 40cm (16in).

- 10x Petrel Narcissus: a narcissus similar to a botanical species called Narcissus triandus. This pretty multiflorous variety produces up to seven small pure white flowers on each stem, which announce their presence with a beautiful scent. Height 35cm (14in).

Plant this collection of narcissus in any well-drained and loosened, humus-rich soil; however, the results are less good in soils that are too moist in summer or excessively acidic. They will be at home in natural flower beds or borders, paired with squills and hyacinths, grape hyacinths, mid-height botanical tulips, as well as forget-me-nots or pansies. Plant them under trees, where no one will disturb them: with a little patience, they may naturalize there, forming large luminous carpets over time! For a romantic effect, plant them at the base of old roses. In large pots, these narcissus are wonderful... place them near windows or the entrance door to fully enjoy their delightful fragrance.

These narcissus are also perfect for creating charming bouquets. Please note that narcissus stems contain a substance that causes other flowers to wither quickly. You can mitigate this harmful effect by dipping the ends of the narcissus stems in hot water for 1 to 2 minutes. Furthermore, if your flowers open too quickly, you can add two to three ice cubes to the vase every day. Only use very little water, just enough to cover thee bottom!
