Narcissus 'Orangery'

Narcissus 'Orangery' is a wonderfully distinctive daffodil, bringing a touch of theatrical flair to the early spring garden. Growing to around 45cm, it forms neat clumps of strap-like, grey-green foliage that provide a calm, elegant base for its extraordinary blooms. Each flower of Narcissus 'Orangery' features broad, pure white outer petals, creating a crisp and luminous backdrop for the true spectacle at its centre. The corona is fully split into vivid orange-yellow segments, each one frilled, lobed and spread wide, almost as if pressed flat against the petals. This intricate structure gives Narcissus 'Orangery' a delightfully ruffled, almost flamboyant character that sets it apart from more traditional forms.

Flowering from early to mid spring, Narcissus 'Orangery' brings both brightness and texture just when the garden is waking up. Its unusual form pairs beautifully with softer companions such as muscari or early tulips, where its intricate centre can truly be appreciated. Despite its ornate appearance, Narcissus 'Orangery' is reassuringly easy to grow, returning year after year with increasing confidence. Whether planted in borders or naturalised in gentle drifts, Narcissus 'Orangery' offers a fresh and expressive take on the classic daffodil, full of movement, colour and springtime optimism.
