White narcissus bulbs

"Buy white narcissus, they have something fairytale-like. Shipped directly from our nursery to your home."

White narcissus have something magical, it’s as if they came straight out of a fairytale. Especially the double-flowered narcissus Bridal Crown with its fresh white colour. It’s no surprise that it’s one of the most popular varieties. But why is white so popular?

These white Bridal Crown narcissus also smell wonderful.

Why are white narcissus so popular?

White is considered the colour of perfection, and it is also associated with light, goodness and purity. That’s why brides wear a white dress when they get married. White is the only colour that doesn’t stimulate our senses, but it does open the way to new creations. Every painter starts with a white canvas. White narcissus are so well-loved because they are elegant and timeless. You never get tired of white. It’s always right. On top of that, the combination possibilities are endless. You can create bouquets that are bold and dazzling, but also ones that are soft and modest. A white narcissus pairs beautifully with pink tulips.

Perennial white narcissus

In addition, narcissus are easy and rewarding spring bloomers that, just like perennials, return on their own each year. Give them a sunny spot and you’ll enjoy them again every spring. The blooming of narcissus is often one of the first signs of spring. The lovely scent of these narcissus adds an extra dimension to your garden. You’ll soon smell spring in the air. Plant the narcissus bulbs by variety or mix them for a playful effect. The just-awakening bees and butterflies will surely find your garden. These early spring bloomers are one of the first food sources for wild bees and butterflies.

More than just white narcissus

Narcissus come in all kinds of varieties, shapes and colours. There are the typical yellow narcissus  that symbolise the beginning of spring. But we also have cream-coloured narcissus, pink narcissus and orange trumpet narcissus. Beautiful double-flowered narcissus are also available. The single-flowered varieties are highly attractive to butterflies and bees. And finally, there are some unique and special narcissus as well.

Planting narcissus bulbs

Narcissus bulbs first need cold in order to start blooming. So plant the bulbs in autumn, in the months of October, November or December. Take care: narcissus don’t tolerate harsh frost well, so don’t plant them too late (after 15 December). You’ll receive a large-size bulb from us, so you can expect full narcissus flowers. Narcissus bloom in spring. Breathe in the scent of the season!

Narcissus flowering time

Narcissus bloom in the months of March through April. Tourists from all over the world and the Netherlands travel to the world-famous flower fields in Lisse. But why travel all the way to Lisse? You can have narcissus blooming in your own garden.

Caring for narcissus

Narcissus bulbs need little care. Water regularly if it’s dry. The narcissus is a perennial bulb plant, so you’ll have narcissus flowers again next year. That’s why it’s important to care properly for the bulbs once they’ve finished blooming. You can cut off the flower stems of faded flowers, but leave the foliage. It’s important to give the leaves of the narcissus bulbs time to turn yellow. This is best for the bulb.

That way, the bulb can still absorb enough nutrients from the leaf for next year. Once the leaves are completely yellow, you can cut them off. In winter, you can simply leave the narcissus bulbs in the ground, possibly covered with some leaves from the garden. Some narcissus varieties stay low and produce small flowers, while others grow taller and produce large flowers. Most narcissus bulbs produce multiple flowers that spread a lovely fragrance. Pure enjoyment.
