💛 Yellow and white large-cupped flowers • 🌿 Stems 35 to 45 cm • 🌤️ Flowers from March to April • 💐 Excellent cut flower • ⛅ Sun or partial shade • ❄️ Very hardy • 🔁 Naturalizes and flowers again every year • 📏 Large bulbs size 12/14
The large-cupped daffodil mix brings together yellow and white varieties from the large-cupped daffodil group: in March and April, each 35 to 45 cm stem carries one generous flower, whose central cup is more than a third of the length of the petals. It is a European horticultural selection, supplied as large size 12/14 bulbs that produce big flowers from the very first spring.
Planted in beds, along borders or in a lawn, it returns every spring and forms fuller clumps each year. Among our flower bulbs, it is the mix for bright gardens and big bouquets: its long, sturdy stems are easy to cut for the vase.
Which daffodil should you choose?
- Large-cupped daffodil mix (this plant) — yellow and white large-cupped flowers, 35 to 45 cm, in March-April. For beds, lawns and bouquets.
- 'Carlton' daffodil — one large 10 cm yellow flower per stem, lightly fragrant, 40 to 45 cm, in March-April. For beds and bouquets.
- Mixed double daffodils — fully double flowers in assorted colors, 35 to 45 cm, in March-April. For beds, large pots and bouquets.
Planted side by side, the single flowers of the large-cupped mix and the pompoms of the double daffodils create a bed richer in shapes and volume.
How many bulbs should you choose?
Large-cupped daffodils make the biggest impact in generous clumps: allow about 30 bulbs per square meter, or 8 to 10 bulbs in a pot 30 cm in diameter.
- 15 bulbs: about 0.5 m², or two large pots on a balcony or terrace.
- 30 bulbs: about 1 m², for a spring flower bed or around the base of a tree.
- 60 bulbs: about 2 m², for a yellow and white border along a path.
- 120 bulbs: about 4 m², to naturalize a lawn or woodland area.
The bigger the pack, the lower the price per bulb: the 120-bulb pack works out at less than half the price per bulb of the 15-bulb pack.
Planting & location
Bulbs are planted from September to December, as long as the soil is not frozen, for flowering in March and April.
- Exposure: sun or partial shade; flowers are more plentiful with at least half a day of sun.
- Depth: 15 cm, tip facing up, or about three times the height of the bulb.
- Spacing: 10 to 15 cm between bulbs in the ground, 5 cm in a pot.
- Soil type: ordinary and well-drained; its only enemy is standing water.
- Hardiness: down to -25 °C in the ground, with no protection needed, like most cold-hardy plants.
For a natural effect in a lawn, toss a handful of bulbs at random and plant them where they land.
Watering & care
In the ground, autumn and spring rain is enough. In a pot, use well-draining potting soil, as explained in our guide to growing media and potting soils, and never leave it waterlogged.
- 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: cut them off once they have faded, so the bulb keeps its energy instead of producing seeds.
- 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 mix of yellow and white brightens spring beds and pairs easily with the season's other bulbs.
- For a blue and white carpet at their feet, plant the Muscari Magic Mix underneath — its light blue, blue-violet and white clusters, 15 to 20 cm tall, bloom at the same time, in March-April.
- For a fragrant bed, plant them with mixed garden hyacinths — their colorful spikes flower at the same time and fill the garden with scent.
- For a white garden that carries on into April, pair them with the white Triumph tulip — its 40 to 50 cm cup-shaped flowers take over as the daffodils finish.
- For a terrace version, plant 8 to 10 bulbs in the white Elho Greenville Round pot in the Ø30 cm size — its matte white echoes the flowers and makes the yellow stand out.
In a pot, plant in layers: daffodils at 15 cm and grape hyacinths above at 8 cm, for flowers on two levels.
Verdeia tips
- Cut them in bud for the vase: pick the stems when the buds begin to show color. They open in the vase and last a week, making a spring bouquet to give, as shown in our ideas for plants to give as gifts.
- Keep them on their own for a few hours before adding them to a mixed bouquet: the sap from freshly cut stems makes other flowers wilt. First place them alone in a vase, then combine them with tulips without recutting the stems.
- Divide the clumps every four or five years: when flowers become less abundant, dig up the clumps after the foliage turns yellow, separate the bulbs and replant them right away.

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.
