"Buy white daffodils, they have something fairy-like about them. Sent straight home from our farm."
There is something magical about white daffodils, they look like they come from a fairy tale. Especially the double-flowered daffodil Bridal Crown with its fresh-white colour. It is not one of the most popular daffodils for nothing! But why does white appeal so much?
Why are white daffodils so popular?
White is considered the colour of perfection; white is also associated with light, goodness, and purity. For this reason, brides wear a white dress when they get married. White is the only colour that does not stimulate our senses, but it opens the way for new creations. In fact, all painters start with a white canvas.
White daffodils appeal so much because they are elegant and timeless. You never get tired of white, as it is always right. Moreover, the combination possibilities are endless. You can use it to make bouquets that are bold and brilliant, but also bouquets that are soft and modest. A white daffodil combines beautifully with a pink tulip, for example Mariage.
Besides, daffodils are very easy and rewarding spring bloomers that, just like perennials, come back every year by themselves. Give them a sunny spot and you can enjoy them again every spring. The flowering of daffodils is often one of the first signs of spring. The lovely fragrance of these daffodils adds an extra dimension to your garden. You will soon automatically smell spring. Plant the daffodil bulbs by variety or mixed for a playful effect. The newly awakening bees and butterflies will surely find your garden! The early spring blooms are one of the first sources of food for wild bees and butterflies.

Daffodil care
Daffodil bulbs are easy to care for, but they need little care. If it is dry, give water regularly. The white daffodil is a perennial bulbous plant, so next year you will have daffodil flowers again. It is therefore very important to take proper care of daffodil bulbs after they have finished flowering. For spent flowers, you can cut away the flower stems, leaving the foliage. It is important that you give the foliage of the daffodil bulbs time to turn yellow. This is best for the daffodil bulb.
It allows the bulb to still get enough nutrients from the foliage for next year. When the foliage is completely yellow, you can cut away the foliage. In winter, you can simply leave the daffodil bulbs in the ground, possibly covering them with some leaves from the garden. Some daffodil varieties stay low and produce small flowers, while others are longer and produce very large flowers. Most daffodil bulbs produce several flowers with a lovely fragrance. Real enjoyment.
