White Lion Double Daffodil Bulbs – Sweetly Fragrant, Early Bloomer, Fall Planting

Narcissus 'White Lion' is one of the most refined double daffodils available — a sweetly fragrant, early-flowering variety whose blooms are so perfectly symmetrical and balanced, they seem to float like lotus flowers above their tall, strong stems. Creamy ivory outer petals alternate with shorter lemon-curd shaded inner segments tucked among the ruffles, creating a layered, luxurious flower that stops people in their tracks.

Naturalizing, Containers & Care

White Lion naturalizes well in lawns and rough grass. Plant irregularly for a natural effect and avoid mowing until June or July. In containers, space bulbs one bulb-width apart for a full, impressive display. Deadhead spent flowers to prevent energy loss to seed production and ensure strong blooms the following season.
