Product Description
Narcissus ‘Slim Whitman’ is a refined Trumpet Narcissus producing crisp ivory-white petals surrounding a sharply defined golden cup, creating a clear, high-contrast bloom that reads strongly against fresh spring foliage. The flowers carry a distinctly structured form, giving early-season planting a bright, well-defined focal point.
Flowering from early to mid-spring, it typically reaches around 40 cm in height and performs best in full sun or light shade. Free-draining soil supports reliable seasonal return, where it establishes steady clumps that integrate well into both formal borders and naturalistic planting schemes.
‘Slim Whitman’ pairs particularly well with Tulipa in soft or contrasting tones such as white, pink or deep purple, while Muscari enhances low-level texture beneath the upright flower stems. Later-flowering companions such as Nepeta and ornamental grasses extend seasonal continuity by introducing movement and fine foliage structure as the bulb display fades.

Growing at a glance…
Daffodils (or narcissi) are both easy to grow and incredibly reliable. Like many bulbs, it takes very little time to plant them. Remove any weeds in the area you'd like to plant your bulbs and dig at the soil to aerate it. Fork in some organic matter to improve the drainage and soil structure. Daffodils prefer sunny spots and well-drained soil, so keep this in mind when planting. Plant each bulb 2-3 times the bulbs height and place it with the shoot facing upwards. Space them twice their width apart. Cover with soil and water if the ground is dry.
