The white botanical daffodil mix brings together several small daffodils close to wild species, with white to cream flowers in varied shapes. Finer and lighter than large garden daffodils, they bloom in March and April on stems about 20 to 40 cm tall, depending on the variety. It is a European horticultural selection, supplied as size 10/12 bulbs.
Planted in lawns, at the foot of trees or along borders, they return every spring and form ever larger colonies. Among our flower bulbs, it is our most natural daffodil mix: it gives the garden the look of a flowering meadow.
Which daffodil should you choose?
- White botanical daffodil mix (this plant) — small white to cream flowers in varied shapes, about 20 to 40 cm, in March-April. For naturalizing a lawn, a woodland area or a rockery.
- 'Thalia' daffodil — 2 to 3 fragrant pure white flowers per stem, 30 to 35 cm, in April. For beds and fragrant bouquets.
- Poet's narcissus 'Recurvus' — fragrant white flowers with a red-rimmed yellow eye, about 35 cm, from late April to May. To close the daffodil season.
Planted together, the botanical mix and 'Recurvus' keep the garden white from March right through to May.
How many bulbs should you choose?
Botanical daffodils make the biggest impact planted in large groups: allow 30 to 40 bulbs per square meter, or 8 to 10 bulbs in a pot 25 to 30 cm in diameter.
- 30 bulbs: about 1 m², or 3 large pots on a balcony or terrace.
- 60 bulbs: about 2 m², for a border or a corner of a rockery.
- 120 bulbs: about 3.5 m², to naturalize a corner of lawn.
- 240 bulbs: about 7 m², to fill a woodland area or the base of several trees with flowers.
The larger the pack, the lower the price per bulb: the 240-bulb pack works out about half the price per bulb of the 30-bulb pack.
Planting & location
Plant the bulbs from September to December, as long as the ground is not frozen, for flowering in March and April, depending on the region.
- Exposure: sun or light partial shade; flowers are more plentiful with at least half a day of sun.
- Depth: 10 to 12 cm, tip pointing up.
- Spacing: 8 to 10 cm between bulbs in the ground; 4 to 5 cm in a pot.
- Soil type: ordinary and well-drained; its only enemy is standing water.
- Hardiness: down to -20 °C in the ground, no protection needed.
For a natural look in a lawn, scatter the bulbs by hand and plant them where they fall.
Watering & care
In the ground, rain is enough. In pots, check moisture with the finger test: water only when the potting mix is dry 2 cm down, without letting the root ball dry out completely during flowering.
- Watering: light — when planting, then in a pot when the potting mix is dry on the surface, especially as the buds emerge.
- Fertilizer: unnecessary in the ground; in pots, use a bulb fertilizer as the leaves emerge.
- Spent flowers: in a lawn, leave them in place; in beds or pots, cut them off so the bulb keeps its energy.
- After flowering: let the foliage turn yellow for six weeks before cutting it back: it feeds the bulb for next year.
In a lawn, wait until the leaves have turned yellow, around the end of May, before the first mowing.
Decorating ideas & plant pairings
Its bright white lights up the garden from late winter, and it earns its place among plants for a sunny balcony in a large pot.
- For a blue and white carpet, plant the Armenian grape hyacinth at its feet — its bright blue bell clusters, 15 to 20 cm tall, bloom at the same time, from March to April.
- For a natural woodland look, pair it with Siberian squill — its intense blue bells, 10 to 15 cm tall, naturalize into a carpet under trees in March-April.
- For a graphic contrast, plant the black Triumph tulip behind it — its cup-shaped, almost black deep purple flowers, 40 to 50 cm tall, take over in April.
- For a balcony version, plant 8 to 10 bulbs in the white Elho Greenville Easy Balcony planter, Ø25 cm — its white echoes the flowers for a composition full of light.
In pots, plant in layers: the daffodils at 12 cm and grape hyacinths above them at 6 cm, for flowers on two levels.
Verdeia tips
- Let them naturalize: as tough as other cold-hardy plants, the bulbs overwinter in the ground and multiply on their own; the longer you leave them in place, the larger the colony grows.
- Plant in irregular groups: patches of 10 to 20 bulbs, unevenly spaced, look more natural than planting in rows.
- Divide overcrowded clumps: every 4 to 5 years, when flowering declines, lift the bulbs once the foliage has yellowed and replant them further apart in autumn.

Will the plant look exactly like the photo?

What should I do when my plant arrives?
Open your package as soon as you receive it and carefully remove the plant from its packaging. Let it acclimate for 24 hours in its new environment before watering. If it has been slightly stressed during transport, it will recover its shape after one or two days in the light.
What should I do if my plant arrives damaged?
Contact us within 48 hours with a photo of the issue. Our team will assess the situation and offer you the best solution: replacement, partial refund, or recovery advice.
