Daffodil - Narcissus Bridal Crown - ORG

The name Bridal Crown says it all: this is a daffodil for special moments. Not the classic yellow trumpet, but a double flower full of layered petals—orange and white intermingled, set against a white outer petal. Full, festive, and wonderfully fragrant. When you see it blooming in your flower bed in April, you’ll immediately understand why it has been a favorite for decades among everyone who loves daffodils.

A double daffodil

Double daffodils have multiple layers of petals, giving them a full, almost peony-like bloom. The Bridal Crown is one of the most beautiful examples of this group: the combination of orange and white, framed by a crisp white outer petal, gives it a festive air without being over the top. It blooms in April on sturdy stems—elegant enough for the flower bed, strong enough for a vase.

That fragrance

Anyone who has ever smelled a Bridal Crown up close will never forget it. The fragrance is sweet, rich, and floral—stronger than that of most other daffodils. As a cut flower, it fills a room. In the garden, it attracts bees that can smell the nectar from afar. Cut the stems early in the morning when the bud is just beginning to color, place them in cold water, and enjoy both the blooms and the fragrance indoors.

Planting and care

Plant the bulbs in the fall about 15 cm deep in a sunny to lightly shaded spot with well-drained soil. The Bridal Crown reliably returns every year and becomes fuller with age. Let the foliage die back naturally after flowering—this allows the bulb to recharge for the next season. Organically grown, certified NL-BIO-01.
