Narcissus 'Thalia' is the epitome of elegance in the spring garden — a refined, all-white daffodil with a timeless charm. Sometimes known as the ‘Orchid Daffodil’, Thalia produces graceful, multi-headed blooms with slender, swept-back petals and a delicate fragrance that adds a subtle touch of luxury to your display.

Flowering slightly later in the season, this beautifully understated variety brings a sense of serenity and sophistication to borders, containers, and naturalised areas. Standing at around 35–40 cm tall, Thalia offers both height and poise, with each stem carrying two or more gently nodding flowers.

For a truly striking combination, plant Narcissus 'Thalia' alongside Tulip Flig Flag — the white daffodil’s purity sets off the soft lilac streaks of the tulip beautifully, creating a painterly, romantic effect.

Hardy, reliable, and delightfully low-maintenance, Thalia is perfect for anyone wanting to create a soft, calming spring palette with a touch of fragrance. Whether planted en masse or as part of a mixed scheme, it’s a variety that brings quiet sophistication to any garden.

How to plant Narcissus

• Find a location with well-drained soil. Narcissus will not thrive in water-logged areas.
• Narcissus like to receive full sun for most of the day.

Planting Narcissus in the Garden

• If planting in the garden, plant the bulbs with their pointed tops 10-15cm (4-6") below the soil surface with smaller bulbs placed more shallowly than larger ones.
• Space the bulbs 7-10cm (3-4") apart. Allow 4 to 5 bulbs per square foot.

Planting Narcissus in Pots

• If planting in pots, find a large container and fill it with good-quality, well-drained soil. Ensure there is adequate draining holes.
• Plant in the Autumn, September through November.
• Plant the bulbs with their pointed tops 10-15cm (4-6")
• After planting, water the Narcissus well, gently soaking the soil to settle it around the bulbs.
• Narcissus will flower early Spring.
