Narcissus 'Silver Bouquet' is an elegant, multi-headed daffodil producing clusters of fresh white flowers above compact green foliage.
Flowering early from February to March and growing to around 25–35cm tall, it is an excellent choice for naturalising, spring borders and containers. With several flowers produced on each stem, even a small group of bulbs can develop into an impressive display.

About Narcissus 'Silver Bouquet'
Narcissus 'Silver Bouquet' is particularly attractive for its generous multi-headed flowering habit. Rather than producing a single bloom on each stem, several flowers are carried together to create a bouquet-like display.
The flowers are predominantly white, with broad, pointed outer petals arranged around a small central cup. Subtle creamy to greenish tones can be visible deep within the centre, adding a little contrast without taking away from the clean white appearance.
The flowers face outwards in different directions, giving established clumps a light, airy appearance and allowing the blooms to be enjoyed from several angles.
Its compact height makes 'Silver Bouquet' particularly useful towards the front of borders and in smaller gardens, while the abundance of flowers also makes it an excellent container variety.

'Silver Bouquet' is particularly good for naturalising. Plant the bulbs in informal groups or drifts and, in suitable conditions, they can gradually establish into larger clumps that return each spring.
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.
- For naturalising, arrange bulbs informally rather than in straight rows.
After flowering, remove faded flower heads but leave the foliage in place until it has yellowed and died back naturally. This allows the leaves to replenish the bulbs ready for the following year's display.
