About Narcissus 'Fortune'

Narcissus 'Fortune' produces one substantial flower on each upright stem, held above narrow, strap-shaped green foliage.

The broad perianth segments are a clear, cheerful yellow and surround a long cup-shaped corona in a contrasting deep reddish orange.

The corona is gently flared towards its edge, creating an attractive trumpet-like appearance while allowing the rich orange colouring to stand out against the surrounding yellow petals.

'Fortune' belongs to the Large-Cupped group of daffodils. Varieties within this group produce one flower per stem, with a corona measuring more than one-third of the length of the perianth segments but no longer than the petals themselves.

Its March flowering period makes 'Fortune' a useful choice for bringing strong colour to the garden early in the spring season.

Benefits for UK Wildlife

Where to Grow Narcissus 'Fortune'

Spring garden borders
Patio pots and containers
Cottage gardens
Mixed bulb displays
Naturalised planting

The strong contrast between the yellow petals and reddish-orange cup makes 'Fortune' particularly effective when planted in groups or generous drifts.

Planting Tips

Plant bulbs in autumn.
Choose a sunny or partially shaded position.
Plant approximately 10–15cm deep.
Space bulbs around 10cm apart.
Water after planting if conditions are particularly dry.

Once flowering has finished, remove faded blooms but allow the foliage to yellow and die back naturally. This allows the bulbs to store energy for the following year's flowers.

Distinctive long, large cup
Early March flowering
Excellent for borders and containers
Reliable perennial spring colour

If you want a traditional-looking daffodil with stronger colour contrast, Narcissus 'Fortune' combines clear yellow petals with a rich reddish-orange cup for a vibrant early spring display.

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.
