  • Height: 20–30cm
  • Spread: 10–15cm
  • Flower colour: creamy white
  • Flowering time: spring
  • Group: Cyclamineus daffodil
  • Position: full sun or partial shade
  • Soil: fertile, well-drained soil

About Narcissus 'Lady Madonna'

Narcissus 'Lady Madonna' has a graceful flower shape that sets it apart from traditional trumpet daffodils.

The creamy-white outer petals sweep backwards away from the centre of the bloom, giving the flower a light and elegant appearance.

At the centre is a particularly prominent trumpet. Long and broad, it has pronounced pleating along its length and finishes with a delicately frilled rim.

The flower is almost entirely creamy white, creating a clean and refined display that works especially well alongside other pale spring flowers.

'Lady Madonna' is a Cyclamineus daffodil, a group of garden hybrids in which the characteristics of Narcissus cyclamineus are predominant. Their reflexed petals and distinctive flower shape make them easy to recognise.

Planting Tips

  • Plant bulbs in autumn.
  • Choose a sunny or partially shaded position.
  • Plant approximately 10–15cm deep.
  • Space bulbs around 10cm apart.
  • Plant several bulbs together for a stronger display.

After flowering, remove faded blooms but allow the foliage to yellow and die back naturally. This allows the leaves to replenish the bulbs ready for flowering the following spring again.

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.
