Narcissus 'Sempre Avanti' is a striking large-cupped daffodil combining broad, creamy white petals with a vivid orange-red, frilled central cup.

Flowering in April and growing to around 35–40cm tall, its strong two-tone colouring makes it an excellent variety for spring borders, containers and cut flower displays.

About Narcissus 'Sempre Avanti'

Narcissus 'Sempre Avanti' is a particularly attractive choice for gardeners who enjoy the traditional daffodil shape but want something more colourful than the familiar yellow varieties.

Each upright stem carries a single large flower. Six broad, almost flat perianth segments form a creamy white backdrop around the strongly contrasting central cup.

The corona is a rich orange to orange-red, with deeper colouring towards its prominently frilled edge. A touch of yellow and green towards the throat adds further depth and draws attention to the centre of the flower.

'Sempre Avanti' belongs to the Large-Cupped division of daffodils. These are distinguished by having one flower per stem and a corona measuring more than one-third, but less than the full length, of the surrounding perianth segments.

At around 35–40cm tall, it is a useful medium-sized variety that can be grown successfully in both garden borders and containers.

Benefits for UK Wildlife

Where to Grow Narcissus 'Sempre Avanti'

Spring garden borders
Patio pots and containers
Cottage gardens
Mixed bulb displays
Along paths and entrances
Cut flower gardens

The strong contrast between the pale petals and orange-red centre makes 'Sempre Avanti' particularly effective when planted in groups. It also combines beautifully with blue and purple spring flowers.

Planting Tips

Plant bulbs in autumn.
Choose a position in full sun or partial shade.
Plant approximately 10–15cm deep.
Space bulbs around 10cm apart.
Plant several bulbs together for the strongest display.

After flowering, remove faded blooms but leave the foliage untouched until it has yellowed and died back naturally. This allows the leaves to continue feeding the bulbs and build up reserves for the following year's flowers.

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.
