Bulbs

Narcissus 'Erlicheer'

Erlicheer Daffodil

Narcissus 'Erlicheer' produces clusters of soft ivory flowers touched with creamy yellow at the center, creating a gentle blend of warm tones in early spring. Slender, blue-green foliage rises in upright fans, forming a graceful backdrop for the abundant blooms. The plant develops a lush, full presence as multiple flowers open along each stem, filling garden spaces with refined color.

This double tazetta daffodil blooms in late winter to early spring with small, fully layered blossoms well suited for cutting gardens, patio pots, and indoor displays. Originating in the Mediterranean region, it remains a favorite for mass plantings where generous flowering supports seasonal design.

Design tip

The early flowers arrive when the garden is still waking up, so give it a spot you pass often in spring. Drift them in uneven groups for a natural look, and interplant with perennials that fill the gap after the leaves die back.
