Narcissus ‘White Lion’ – Double Blooms with Timeless Elegance

The Narcissus ‘White Lion’ is a magnificent double-flowering daffodil that combines the classic charm of narcissi with a touch of luxury. Each bloom features multiple layers of creamy-white petals surrounding a cluster of golden-yellow inner segments, giving a lush, ruffled appearance reminiscent of a garden rose or peony.

Flowering in mid-spring, ‘White Lion’ adds sophistication to borders, containers, and cut flower arrangements. Its strong stems and large, scented blooms make it both a showpiece outdoors and a favourite for indoor vases. Hardy, easy to grow, and long-lasting, this daffodil is an excellent choice for gardeners who want beauty with impact.

Care Guide

Narcissus ‘White Lion’ is a reliable and low-maintenance bulb, rewarding even beginner gardeners with spectacular results.

Planting

• When to plant: Plant bulbs in autumn (September–November) before the first frost.

• Depth & spacing: Plant 10–15cm deep and 8–10cm apart.

• Grouping: For best effect, plant in clusters or drifts of 6–12 bulbs.

• Containers: Use multipurpose compost with added grit for drainage.

Watering & Feeding

• Water well after planting to settle the soil around the bulbs.

• During spring, water in dry spells, particularly for container-grown bulbs.

• Apply a balanced fertiliser after flowering to strengthen bulbs for the next season.

Aftercare

• Deadhead faded flowers to prevent bulbs wasting energy on seed setting.

• Allow foliage to die back naturally for 6–8 weeks after flowering – leaves provide essential food for the bulb.

• Avoid tying or cutting leaves too soon.

• Clumps can be lifted and divided every 3–5 years in summer if overcrowded.

Protection

• Fully hardy; no winter protection needed in the ground.

• In containers, ensure pots are raised on feet to prevent waterlogging.
