Narcissus 'Altun Ha' is an unusual spring-flowering daffodil valued for the changing colour of its elegant blooms.

The flowers open a bright lemon yellow before gradually fading as they mature, with the central cup eventually becoming pure white. This transformation creates an attractive mixture of yellow and cream-white shades when several flowers are open together.

Height: 35–45cm
Spread: 10–15cm
Flower colour: bright lemon yellow, fading with age to a pure white cup
Flowering time: spring
Position: full sun or partial shade
Soil: fertile, well-drained soil

About Narcissus 'Altun Ha'

Narcissus 'Altun Ha' produces substantial daffodil flowers on upright stems above narrow green foliage.

Freshly opened blooms are dominated by clear lemon-yellow colouring, giving them a bright and cheerful appearance.

As each flower matures, its colouring becomes progressively paler. The trumpet-shaped cup changes most noticeably, eventually becoming pure white while the surrounding petals retain softer yellow tones.

This changing colour means that an established group can display several different shades at the same time, adding extra interest to a spring bulb display.

Growing to around 35–45cm tall, 'Altun Ha' is well suited to both garden borders and containers.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time to plant daffodil bulbs in the UK?

Daffodil and narcissus bulbs should ideally be planted from September to November in well-drained soil. This gives the bulbs enough time to establish roots before the growing season and ensures a vibrant spring bloom.

How deep should I dig daffodil bulbs?

Plant bulbs at a depth of 2-3 times their height, covering them with soil to protect against frost and pests. Proper depth helps bulbs survive winter and return year after year with healthy foliage and flowers.

Can daffodils be planted with tulips or other spring bulbs?

Yes! Planting daffodils alongside tulips, crocus, or Muscari extends your garden’s spring colour and provides early forage for pollinators. This combination also creates natural drifts and clumps, enhancing your display.

How do I know if my daffodil bulbs are healthy?

Look for signs like firm, plump bulbs with no mould or soft spots. Healthy bulbs have intact tunics and show no signs of disease or damage, ensuring they produce strong shoots and bright flowers in the spring.

When is the best time for autumn planting of spring bulbs?

The ideal time to plant spring flowering bulbs like tulips, daffodils, crocus, and snowdrops is from September to November. Planting during this period allows bulbs to establish roots before winter and ensures a healthy, vibrant bloom in early spring, with stunning green foliage and flower colours ranging from purple and blue to bright yellows and whites.
