Description
Narcissus 'Dutch Lion' might not roar, but it certainly makes itself heard in the spring garden. With blooms that are fully double and gloriously ruffled, this unique daffodil channels its inner peony—all the grandeur, none of the fuss. The creamy white outer petals are elegantly contrasted by golden-yellow inner whorls, giving Narcissus 'Dutch Lion' an almost regal air (and frankly, it knows it). Whether standing tall in borders or stealing the show in a vase indoors, this variety doesn’t do subtle—and we wouldn’t want it any other way.
As with all good lions, Narcissus 'Dutch Lion' knows how to make an entrance. Flowering in mid-spring, it brings a touch of flamboyance just when the garden is waking up. Its sturdy stems mean no flopping about, and its stately blooms are a favourite for both bees and admiring passers-by. Plant Narcissus 'Dutch Lion' in generous groups to get the full impact—or tuck a few into pots for a portable burst of opulence. And just in case you missed it: Narcissus 'Dutch Lion' is not your average daffodil. It's a main event.
