Our "Bloom or Bust" Promise

Ice Follies, often admired for its creamy white with primrose-yellow cup (fading paler) colouring, is a bulb variety especially well suited to borders.

Narcissus ‘Ice Follies’ is a beautifully poised, large-cupped daffodil—creamy white petals surrounding a softly primrose-yellow cup that gradually mellows towards ivory as the flower matures. The effect is subtle, luminous, and wonderfully versatile.

Reliable and floriferous, it settles quickly into borders, threads neatly through shrubs, and looks particularly smart in generous pots by the door. Planted in drifts, it also naturalises gracefully through grass for a spring display that feels effortless yet considered.

Where to Plant:

Narcissus 'Ice Follies' needs full-sun, partial sun and a warm, sheltered position for the best flowering. Plant into fertile, humus-rich soil that drains well, and choose a spot protected from strong winds, especially for taller varieties.

How to Plant:

Plant bulb from September to December once conditions are suitable. Set them at the correct depth for the variety, spacing 10-15cm apart where relevant, then firm in gently and water well after planting.

Aftercare:

Water regularly in dry weather and feed every two to three weeks once buds appear. Stake taller stems early and deadhead to keep plants flowering. After flowering, allow foliage to die back naturally before lifting or protecting bulb according to local conditions.

I ordered the mixed hyacinth collection and the scent in my garden this April was absolutely heavenly. Every single bulb produced a strong, beautiful flower and the colours were stunning together. A fantastic purchase, I'll be back for more next year!
