🌼 White double flowers with a ruffled yellow center • 🌱 40 to 50 cm • 🌤️ Flowers in March-April • ⛅ Sun or light partial shade • ❄️ Very hardy • 💐 Lovely cut flower • 🔁 Flowers again every year • 📏 Size 12/14 bulbs
The Narcissus 'Macaron Bloss' is a tall, slender double daffodil: broad white petals surround a center packed with small ruffled petals in warm yellow, like a rosette. Carried on 40 to 50 cm stems, its flowers open in March and April. It is a European horticultural selection, supplied as size 12/14 bulbs.
Planted in beds, along borders or in a large pot, it returns every spring and forms ever fuller clumps. Among our flower bulbs, it is the tallest of our double daffodils: its 40 to 50 cm stems give long flowers for cutting and bouquets.
Which daffodil should you choose?
- Narcissus 'Macaron Bloss' (this plant) — white double flowers with a ruffled warm-yellow center, 40 to 50 cm, in March-April. For beds, the back of borders and bouquets.
- Narcissus 'Ice King' — white double flowers with a lemon-yellow center that fades to cream, 35 to 45 cm, in March-April. For beds and partly shaded corners.
- Mixed double daffodils — yellow, white and bicolor double flowers in March-April. For a varied bed in a single planting.
Planted side by side, Macaron Bloss and Ice King create a white and yellow bed on two levels, the first standing about ten centimeters above the second.
How many bulbs should you choose?
Double daffodils make the biggest impact planted in groups of 10 to 15: allow 25 to 35 bulbs per square meter, or 6 to 8 bulbs in a pot 25 to 30 cm in diameter.
- 20 bulbs: about 0.7 m², or 3 large pots on a balcony or terrace.
- 40 bulbs: about 1.5 m², for a bed or a flowering border.
- 80 bulbs: about 3 m², for a long border or to fill the base of trees with flowers.
The larger the pack, the lower the price per bulb: the 80-bulb pack works out about 35% cheaper per bulb than the 20-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: 12 to 15 cm, tip pointing up.
- 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 -20 °C in the ground, no protection needed.
Place them in the second row of beds, behind low-growing flowers: their 40 to 50 cm stems rise above without hiding the foreground.
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: 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 windy spot, plant them in tight clumps: the stems support each other and the large double flowers stay upright.
Decorating ideas & plant pairings
Its white and yellow stand out in sun as well as partial shade, and it earns its place among plants for a sunny balcony in a large pot.
- For a carpet of flowers at its feet, plant Greek anemone mix underneath — its blue, pink and white daisy-like flowers, 10 to 15 cm tall, bloom at the same time, in March-April.
- For a fragrant bed, pair it with Mixed garden hyacinths — their dense, highly scented spikes, 20 to 30 cm tall, bloom in March-April in the front row.
- For a deep contrast, plant Broad-leaved grape hyacinth alongside — its two-tone navy and light blue clusters, 20 to 25 cm tall, set off the white petals in April.
- For a balcony version, plant 6 to 8 bulbs in the white Elho Greenville Easy Balcony planter, Ø25 cm — its white echoes the petals and highlights the yellow center.
In pots, plant in layers: the daffodils at 15 cm and anemones above them at 5 cm, for flowers on two levels.
Verdeia tips
- Cut some for bouquets: pick the stems when the buds show their color, then stand them alone in water for a few hours before mixing them with other flowers; they last about a week in a vase.
- Leave them in place for several years: as tough as other cold-hardy plants, the bulbs overwinter in the ground and multiply on their own; divide the clumps every 4 to 5 years when they flower less.
- Plant them deep: at 15 cm, the bulbs anchor firmly and the tall stems hold their large double flowers straighter.

FAQ – Everything to know before adopting your Verdeia plant
How are my plants prepared before shipping?
All our plants are selected from our European partner nurseries. Before shipping, they are watered, cleaned, and protected with breathable, secure packaging. Each package is designed to ensure your plant arrives in perfect health, without any transport-related stress.
Will the plant look exactly like the photo?
The photos accurately represent the variety and the stated size. Since each plant is unique, slight differences in shape, foliage, or color may occur — and that’s part of their charm.
What are the delivery times and conditions?
Orders ship within 48 working hours, with tracked delivery in 2 to 5 working days via DPD. Shipping costs and the free-shipping threshold depend on your country — see our delivery page. You receive a tracking link as soon as your parcel leaves.
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.
Can I return a plant?
Since plants are living beings, standard returns are not possible. However, we guarantee good health upon delivery: if the plant arrives damaged, it will be replaced free of charge. For any other cases (order error, decorative pot, accessory), returns are possible within 14 days.
