🤍 Creamy white hoop-petticoat flowers • 🌱 Small daffodil, 15 to 20 cm • 🌤️ Flowers in March-April • ⛅ Sun or partial shade • ❄️ Hardy to -15 °C • 🪨 Ideal for rock gardens, borders and pots • 🔁 Naturalizes year after year • 📏 Size 6/8 bulbs
The Narcissus bulbocodium 'White Petticoat' is a small daffodil with an unexpected silhouette: its flared, petticoat-shaped corona dominates narrow, pointed petals arranged in a star. Its creamy white flowers, about 4 cm across, open in March and April above grass-like foliage on 15 to 20 cm stems. It is a Dutch-bred cultivar registered in 2017, the largest white form of the hoop petticoat daffodil, supplied as size 6/8 bulbs.
Planted in a rock garden, along a border, at the foot of shrubs or in a pot, it returns every spring and gradually forms small clumps. Among our flower bulbs, it is the most delicate daffodil: its unusual shape catches the eye up close, on a terrace or beside a path.
Which daffodil should you choose?
- White hoop petticoat daffodil 'White Petticoat' (this plant) — creamy white hoop-petticoat flowers, 15 to 20 cm, in March-April. For rock gardens, borders and pots.
- Daffodil 'Tête-à-Tête' — 2 to 3 golden yellow flowers per stem, 15 to 20 cm, from February to April. For pots and window boxes.
- Daffodil 'Thalia' — 2 to 3 fragrant pure white flowers per stem, 30 to 35 cm, in April. For beds and bouquets.
- Yellow and white botanical daffodil mix — small yellow and white flowers in varied shapes, about 20 to 40 cm, in March-April. For naturalizing a lawn or woodland area.
Planted together in a pot, the white hoop petticoat daffodil and 'Tête-à-Tête' make a white and yellow pairing of the same height.
How many bulbs should you choose?
These small daffodils look best planted in dense groups: allow 40 to 50 bulbs per square meter, or 10 to 12 bulbs in a pot 25 cm in diameter.
- 20 bulbs: about 0.5 m², or 2 pots of 25 cm on a balcony or terrace.
- 40 bulbs: about 1 m², for a border or a corner of a rock garden.
- 80 bulbs: about 2 m², to edge a path or fill the base of several shrubs.
- 160 bulbs: about 4 m², to form clumps in a large rock garden or a short-mown lawn.
The bigger the pack, the lower the price per bulb: the 160-bulb pack works out at less than half the price per bulb of the 20-bulb pack.
Planting & location
Plant the bulbs from September to November, as soon as they arrive, for flowers in March and April depending on the region.
- Exposure: sun or partial shade; flowers are more plentiful with at least half a day of sun.
- Depth: about 8 cm, three times the height of the bulb, pointed end up.
- Spacing: 5 to 7 cm between bulbs in the ground; 3 to 4 cm in a pot.
- Soil type: moist in spring and well-drained, acid, neutral or alkaline; only standing water harms it.
- Hardiness: down to -15 °C in the ground; in colder areas, grow it in a pot under shelter.
In a rock garden, tuck the bulbs between the stones: they keep the soil cool in spring and drain away excess water.
Watering & care
In the ground, rain is enough. In a pot, check the moisture with the finger test: water when the potting mix is dry 2 cm down, without letting the root ball dry out 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.
- Faded flowers: 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 pot, reduce watering as soon as the leaves turn yellow: the bulb prefers a dry summer.
Decorating ideas & plant pairings
Its creamy white brightens rock gardens from late winter, and in a pot it finds its place among plants for a sunny balcony.
- For a blue and white carpet, plant Armenian grape hyacinth alongside — its bright blue clusters of little bells, 15 to 20 cm, flower at the same time, from March to April.
- For a succession of flowers, pair it with Crocus 'Ruby Giant' — its purple-violet star-shaped flowers, 8 to 10 cm, open the season in February-March, just before the daffodils.
- For a balcony version, plant 10 to 12 bulbs in the green Elho Greenville Easy Balcony planter, Ø25 cm — its green echoes the foliage and makes the creamy white flowers stand out.
In a pot, plant in layers: daffodils at 8 cm and crocuses above at 5 cm, for flowers from February to April.
Verdeia tips
- Plant it where you can see it: its petticoat flower is best seen up close; place it beside a path, at the front of a rock garden or in a pot on a terrace table.
- Let it settle in: like other cold-hardy plants, it overwinters in the ground and forms small clumps that flower more freely over the years.
- 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.

Our Verdeia commitments
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.
