🤍 Large milky-white flowers with a long trumpet • 🌿 Stems 40 to 45 cm • 🌤️ Flowers from March to April • 💐 Lovely cut flower • ⛅ Sun or partial shade • ❄️ Very hardy • 🏅 Award of Garden Merit (RHS) • 🔁 Naturalizes and flowers again every year • 📏 Bulbs size 10/12
The 'Mount Hood' daffodil is the great white trumpet daffodil of gardens: in March and April, each 40 to 45 cm stem carries one flower about 10 cm across, milky white, with a long flared trumpet. It is a Dutch cultivar bred by P. van Deursen, dating from before 1938, holder of the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit, supplied as size 10/12 bulbs.
Planted in beds, along borders or in a lawn, it returns every spring and naturalizes easily. Among our flower bulbs, it is the daffodil for white gardens and bright bouquets: its sturdy stems are easy to cut for the vase.
Which daffodil should you choose?
- Daffodil 'Mount Hood' (this plant) — large milky-white flowers with a long trumpet, 40 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.
- 'Thalia' daffodil — pure white and fragrant, 30 to 35 cm tall, with two to three flowers per stem in April. For elegant flower beds, pots, and bouquets.
Planted together, 'Mount Hood' and 'Carlton' create a white and yellow bed in March, then 'Thalia' extends the white flowering into April.
How many bulbs should you choose?
'Mount Hood' 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 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: 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 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 bright white lights up spring beds and goes with every color, as shown in our guide to plants for a sunny balcony.
- For a blue and white duo, plant the Armenian grape hyacinth at its feet — its vivid blue clusters, 15 to 20 cm tall, bloom at the same time, in March-April.
- For a natural woodland look, pair it with Siberian squill — its intense blue bells, 10 to 15 cm tall, form a carpet under trees in March-April.
- For a graphic contrast, plant the black Triumph tulip behind it — its 40 to 50 cm cup-shaped, almost black purple flowers take over in April.
- For a terrace version, plant 6 to 8 bulbs in the Elho Greenville Round foliage-green pot in the Ø25 cm size — its understated green makes the white flowers stand out, and the drainage hole prevents standing water.
In a pot, plant in layers: daffodils at 12 cm and grape hyacinths above at 7 cm, for a white and blue pot in spring.
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.

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.
