Organic Narcissus triandrus 'Thalia' | 7 pcs.

Organic white botanical daffodils

The bright white Narcissus triandrus 'Thalia' has medium-sized, star-shaped flowers with a relatively large white crown. She gets about 2 to 3 flowers per flower stem. It grows to about 30 centimeters high with several bluish-green flower stems per bulb and narrow, long leaves, with the flowers still rising above them. It is a mid-early flowering daffodil that blooms for about 4 weeks in the period April and May and is suitable as a cut flower. It smells wonderful and pollinators such as bees can easily access the nectar through the large open crowns.

The 'Thalia' was Mien Ruys' favorite variety because of its strong properties and striking character.

Combine the Narcissus 'Thalia' with Tulipa 'Purple Prince' or Tulipa 'Sweetheart' for a beautiful effect.

How, where and when do I plant daffodil bulbs?

A daffodil flowerbulb needs a cold period, so plant it in the ground from September to January. The planting depth is 2 to 3 times the height of the flowerbulb itself and the planting distance is 2 to 3 times the width of the flowerbulb itself. When planting in pots, the flowerbulbs may be planted closer together and may extend half above the ground for a decorative effect. However, after flowering, the flowerbulbs should be planted back in the garden, while maintaining the planting depth and spacing discussed.

Plant the Narcissus triandrus 'Thalia' in a sunny or shady spot in the garden, pot or lawn. Plant it in groups in a nutrient-rich, water-permeable, preferably calcareous, sandy soil.

Daffodil bulbs are poisonous, which is why they are avoided by rodents such as voles. Use them as a natural protection for other flowerbulbs by planting them around and between the other bulbs.

Care of the daffodil

Provide organic nutrition during planting. Cut off the spent flowers at the top and let the rest of the foliage die. Only cut it off when the leaf has completely dried out. The Narcissus triandrus 'Thalia' is a strong species that naturalizes well. She comes back every year faithfully. Provide organic food annually for optimal results.

Propagation

For propagation, the flowerbulb can be dug out at the beginning of summer. The flowerbulb is dried and stored in a warm place. They can be planted again from September. Plant the small bulbs separately and provide organic nutrition so that the small flowerbulbs grow quickly.

Origin of the daffodil

The Narcissus triandrus 'Thalia' has a rich history dating back to the early 20th century. This variety was first recorded before 1916 in the Netherlands and is considered one of the classic daffodil varieties. The plant is a hybrid derived from the Narcissus triandrus species, which grows wild in southwestern Europe, mainly in mountainous regions such as Spain and Portugal. The design and naming reflect a strong aesthetic focus: 'Thalia' (Thaleia) is named after one of the nine Greek Muses, symbolizing festivity and poetry.
